Public Access To The Beaches Of Connecticut, Don W. Oswalt
Public Access To The Beaches Of Connecticut, Don W. Oswalt
Theses and Major Papers
Elements of the public of Connecticut are engaged in direct conflict against private and municipal property rights over the issue of increased public access to beaches of the state. In Connecticut, as well as the nation, definite solutions to the problem are slow to materialize. The public's right to the whole beach is being clarified by only a few states, while public access under common law remains a clouded issue nationwide. The research study I am proposing would examine in detail the legal issues involved, the state and federal legislative actions, geographical considerations, etc. I feel that the resulting collation …
The European Economic Community: Example Of Regionalization Of The Sea?, B. Deniaux
The European Economic Community: Example Of Regionalization Of The Sea?, B. Deniaux
Theses and Major Papers
The European Law and power has not such a world-wide application nowadays, and it is rather against the rules created by the old European order that the nations formed during the second part of this century have begun a rebellion process. One can address the following questions: what exactly is nowadays the action of the European Community at sea: is there a common policy of the common Market toward marine related problems? If there is one, what is the actual impact of this policy at the international level, and especially these days, in regards of the Law of the Sea …
The Energy Future: An Unanswered Question, Jeffrey A. Carver
The Energy Future: An Unanswered Question, Jeffrey A. Carver
Theses and Major Papers
The purpose of the following paper is to examine broadly some of the implications of the energy shortage, in terms of the following: the new kinds of technology being developed to tap alternative energy sources; the relationship between the energy shortage and the soon-to-be-felt shortages of other resources; possible effects of the energy shortage upon efforts to protect the environment; and social implications of the inevitable limitation to economic and population growth, at least on this planet. The paper is presented in two parts. The first will be a brief discussion of the major elements of the problem and a …
International Regulation Of Marine Pollution From Land-Based Sources, Richard Tucker Scully
International Regulation Of Marine Pollution From Land-Based Sources, Richard Tucker Scully
Theses and Major Papers
Most of the waste products of human society end up in the oceans and the number and quantities of pollutants entering the oceans have been increasing at exponential rates. Recognition of these trends has resulted in expansion of international environmental attention to include sources of marine pollution other than vessels. Source, in this sense, refers to the pathway through which pollutants reach the sea. Land-based sources accounts for the vast bulk of the pollutants reaching the oceans. Effective protection of the marine environment, therefore, must include regulation of land-based sources of marine pollution.
The Perplexities Of The U. S. Marine Transportation System, Stewart B. Nelson
The Perplexities Of The U. S. Marine Transportation System, Stewart B. Nelson
Theses and Major Papers
The U. S. merchant marine, today, is struggling to attain physical and economic health, but it is a formidable undertaking since approximately 95 percent of U. S. ocean-borne trade is currently being carried by foreign flag vessels. As used in this paper, the marine transportation system will focus upon the "well-balanced" aspects of maritime activities. Emphasis will be placed on the carriage of water-borne commerce and related supportive activities and industries. This paper, with only the broadest of perspectives, attempts to make some general comments concerning the economies of the marine transportation system and the interrelationships between marine transportation modes …
Very Large Crude Carriers (Vlccs) And Rules Of The Road For The Prevention Of Collisions, Charles F. Ake
Very Large Crude Carriers (Vlccs) And Rules Of The Road For The Prevention Of Collisions, Charles F. Ake
Theses and Major Papers
A discussion of tanker ship development from the World War II T-2 to the million ton "Delta Ship" concept and an analysis of present and proposed Rules of the Road as they apply to VLCCs.The advantages of size, design characteristics, crew size and automation, propulsion systems and shiphandling characteristics are discussed in general comparitive terms. Projections show tremendous increase not only in the size of tank ships, but also in the size of the world's tanker fleet - approaching 5,000 vessels in the next ten years or so. The increasing size of crude oil carriers and their immense pollution potential …
The Tanker And Ocean Oil Pollution, Raymond Coombs
The Tanker And Ocean Oil Pollution, Raymond Coombs
Theses and Major Papers
It is now clear that the capacity of the oceans to accept some of the by-products of civilization is limited. The oceans can no longer be the world's sink, it we are to maintain the ecological viability of the biosphere. The dangers of the present situation are compounded by the difficulties in defining "marine pollution." Today's concern with pollution and its effects upon our way of life requires that the impact of ships on the marine environment be considered in order to minimize the risk that waterborne cargoes, particularly petroleum products, present to the ecology.
The Dilemma Of Deep Ocean Mining, Paul W. Dillingham Jr.
The Dilemma Of Deep Ocean Mining, Paul W. Dillingham Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
Mineral substances and materials derived from them, whether in the form of fuels, construction materials, metals for farbication, tools, chemicals, or fertilizers, are the foundation of our technological civilization. The modern industrial civilization depends upon the continued availability of mineral raw materials. The problem is not one of actual scarcity ; the raw materials are there in the ground and in the sea in great supply. The question and the uncertainty is economic; How will these resources be recovered and by whom? This proposition becomes the central force in order to adjust to the new resources climate.
The Two Hundred Mile Economic Zone And Scientific Research, Peter R. Latham
The Two Hundred Mile Economic Zone And Scientific Research, Peter R. Latham
Theses and Major Papers
Knowledge of the deep ocean floor; continental shelves and margins is basic to many present and future uses of the sea. Such uses include mineral extraction, navigation of surface and subsurface vehicles, construction of structures on the sea bottom and along the margin, and exploitation of living resources of the shelf and of the water column. Uses of the ocean are directly impinged upon by technological changes resulting from research efforts. Applied science is nowhere more visible than in current development of offshore petroleum sources, development of new fisheries and speculation over possibilities for wealth awaiting mankind on the sea …
The Port Of Boston: Perspective On A Maritime Dilemma, Louis Edward Cellineri
The Port Of Boston: Perspective On A Maritime Dilemma, Louis Edward Cellineri
Theses and Major Papers
Few in Massachusetts, or even in the metropolitan Boston area, however, understand their Port's past, and few still appreciate its present contributions and sympathize with its struggles and problematic future. Whatever its past fame or present indignities, the excitement of a vibrant, profitable waterfront does not enter into the advocacy and implementation of harbor recreational and residential development plans, with or without commercial activities. This near dismissal of the Seaport's present and potential value in certain circles, only presents another dilemma to those attempting to cope with this veritable maritime bag of worms. But despite all these obstacles, the Port …
Waste Disposal In The Waters Of The New York Bight: The Genesis Of A Dead Sea, Edward J. Linky

Deepwater Ports, Ronald Joel Calhoun
Deepwater Ports, Ronald Joel Calhoun
Theses and Major Papers
This paper is designed to provide an overview of the oil energy import problem and an analysis in a case study format of the various deepwater port alternatives for direct shipment and transshipment of foreign crude oil. This work was initiated prior to the recent expanded energy crisis and although touches on the problems of dependency of the United States to foreign crude oil, the various alternative sources of energy, the essence of this paper is an analysis of the various deepwater port considerations for the direct or indirect importation of foreign crude oil; specifically along the Gulf Coast.
Chile's National Interest In The Oceans, Victor Ariel Gallardo
Chile's National Interest In The Oceans, Victor Ariel Gallardo
Theses and Major Papers
The presence of the Oceans in Chile's life is uncontainable in spite that Chile's direct commitment with it has been incoherent up until the present and much of the intentions of the governments have tended to give little or no importance to this major natural resource. It is only very recent that Chile has really begun to look to the sea in search of food and a significant progress has been made in the general utilization of the living resources. Concern is being felt in connection with the lack of adequate port facilities and the insufficiency of the merchant marine …
