Description

Ocean and Coastal Law and Policy 2nd Edition Donald Baur ISBN 9781627227438

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the wide range of legal issues affecting ocean and coastal governance—from maritime jurisdiction and boundary disputes to water quality protection, fisheries management, marine mammal conservation, offshore energy development, and climate change. Each chapter examines the current state of the law on its subject, followed by a thoughtful analysis of emerging trends and unresolved legal challenges. The final chapters focus on the principles, legal authorities, and strategic planning necessary to support a transition toward an ecosystem-based management approach for U.S. coastal and ocean resources.

  • Maritime jurisdiction and boundaries

  • The Public Trust Doctrine

  • The role of states in coastal and ocean governance

  • Regulation of coastal wetlands and other U.S. waters

  • Coastal development management

  • The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
