Building Back Better: Investing In A Resilient Recovery For Washington State, Kevin Tempest, Jonah Kurman-Faber, Ruby Wincele
Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy
This article analyzes the potential jobs and community health benefits created by a sample Resilient Recovery Portfolio of investments in Washington State. This type of investment mindset can kick-start job growth, shared economic prosperity, cleaner air, and climate-resilient communities, thereby serving as a template for Building Back Better in Washington and elsewhere. A Resilient Recovery Portfolio supports over ten jobs per million dollars invested in clean transportation, forest conservation and ecosystem restoration, clean energy, water and energy efficiency, low carbon agriculture, and sustainable industry programs. By comparison, the state’s ten largest industries support 4.3 jobs per million dollars invested. This …

The National Wildlife Refuge System: Incompatible Recreational And Economic Uses Of Refuge Lands, Kimberley J. Priestley
The National Wildlife Refuge System: Incompatible Recreational And Economic Uses Of Refuge Lands, Kimberley J. Priestley
Washington International Law Journal
This Comment addresses the problem of incompatible uses on refuge lands. Section I briefly summarizes the history and management of the NWRS and sets forth the basic tenets of the NWRS Administration Act's "compatibility" standard. Section II points out the problems of incompatible secondary uses on refuge lands. Section III examines the possible reasons behind the FWS's acquiescence to these incompatible recreational and economic uses and proposes solutions. Finally, this Comment concludes that an organic act, coupled with increased funding, would help the NWRS achieve its primary goal of providing protection for wildlife resources and their habitats.
The Public Trust Doctrine: Accommodating The Public Need Within Constitutional Bounds—Orion Corp. V. State, 109 Wash. 2d 621, 747 P.2d 1062 (1987), Cert. Denied, 108 S. Ct. 1996 (1988), Steven W. Turnbull
Washington Law Review
Following decades of neglecting its public trust duties, Washington now accepts the public trust doctrine as a permanent fixture in its law. In Orion Corp. v. State, the Washington Supreme Court reaffirmed the state's sovereign interest as the public's trustee in its tidelands, marshes, and shorelands. The court declared that private use of protected trust lands must conform to the public's interest in navigation, fishing, and recreation, and must not be harmful to the land's dependent wildlife. The court, however, declined to define the public trust's reach, stating only that it is coextensive with the public need. This standard suggests …

New Uses Of International Law In The North Pacific, Douglas M. Johnston
New Uses Of International Law In The North Pacific, Douglas M. Johnston
Washington Law Review
Since all marine fisheries are either shared or shareable and constitute a renewable resource, broad policy problems of fishery use, both by "have" and "have not" fishing states, always have an international aspect and involve considerations of both development and conservation. In few areas of international law is the challenge to our reason and imagination so acute; and seldom do jurists so obviously require the services of the natural sciences. Yet fishery science, now engaging a small but growing number of specialists from biology and related disciplines, is still unable to provide an adequate factual basis for the sophisticated articulation …
