Ocean Law and Policy, (D. Car*n, H. Scheib*r)

The Ocean and Coastal Law and Policy seminar is unique among such classes nationally in integrating the study of both the international law of the sea and specific U.S. legal regimes governing the oceans and coastal zones. This seminar examines ocean law in historical perspective and will also provide a survey and analysis of ocean resource issues both in contemporary international relations and in U.S. constitutional law and public policy. Specific topics to be considered include the modern global movement for extension of the territorial seas and economic zones; U.S. coastal resources conflicts and their management; offshore mineral exploitation; and federal state relations since World War II; and the evolution of national agencies and international agreements that govern the management of marine fishery resources.
