Description
Ocean and Coastal Law Cases and Materials 6th Edition ISBN 9781685613396
Initially conceived as an update to incorporate new developments in climate change and the law of the sea—as well as the global shift toward renewable energy—the sixth edition has evolved into a substantially expanded work. Moving beyond a foundational survey of UNCLOS, federal statutes, and common law doctrines, this edition now includes broader analytical perspectives on the geographic and federalism dimensions of these legal frameworks. A new chapter, "Bays, Estuaries, and Watersheds," offers an in-depth exploration of the Clean Water Act, focusing on its role in addressing pollution from coastal municipalities, agriculture, power generation, and petrochemical industries. This expanded discussion enables students to engage critically with the ongoing transition in environmental policy—from traditional bans and regulatory prohibitions to market-based mechanisms such as pollution pricing, compensatory mitigation, and cap-and-trade systems. The updated materials also equip professors to contextualize and examine recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions that challenge these evolving policy tools and apply new approaches to judicial review and agency deference, particularly with respect to science-based administrative decision-making.
Updates to the New Edition:
- Text in all chapters presents a narrative of legal developments
- Notes and questions follow all cases to guide discussion and analysis
- Selected maps and figures illustrate the geospatial dimensions of ocean and coastal law
- Foundational historical cases are retained in an electronic supplement for easy access
- New in-depth chapter on the Clean Water Act and coastal pollution control
- Latest U.S. Supreme Court decisions on Clean Water Act jurisdiction and the Chevron doctrine are included and analyzed
- Comprehensive teacher’s manual includes model syllabi for one- and two-semester courses, as well as detailed answers to the most challenging student questions

Shipping & Returns

-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
