Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The littoral right, is one given to the person that owns a land that borders large lakes and oceans one can navigate. The right allows them to use the water as much as they can insofar as it does not cause harm to the neighbors that live upstream and downstream. When the owner of this property chooses to sell it, the new owner would have this right and the seller would lose the littoral rights.
