Theses and Major Papers
An examination of the socio-economic development of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Micronesia). A section devoted to early development deals with the long history of foreign administrators who have controlled the islands. The paper deals with interaction between the Micronesians and their administrators and will focus upon relations with the current administrator, the United States, which operates in the islands under a mandate from the United Nations. At the time of the writing of this paper the Micronesians were holding a plebiscite to determine their future political direction. Consideration is given to economic trends within the islands, the …
Growth Patterns Of The World's Merchant Marine, John R. Devereaux Jr.
Growth Patterns Of The World's Merchant Marine, John R. Devereaux Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
Developments in the world ocean-borne transport industry since World War II are reviewed and major trends identified; based on these trends significant implications are derived. The study is limited to the deep sea segment of the shipping industry and touches on related fields, such as the coastal trades and port development, only where trends in the deep sea trade affect them. The major trends identified are the continued growth of ocean-borne trade, the ever growing ship size wherever it proves practical and economical, and the rapid evolution of ship specialization.
Current Post Development Problems, Andrew J. Conklin
Current Post Development Problems, Andrew J. Conklin
Theses and Major Papers
The major problems confronting United States' seaports are investigated as they relate to the 1970s time frame. The influence of the merchant marine's transition to new, large and deep drafted ships is examined as it pertains to harbor and channel depth, pier and storage requirements, waterborne traffic control and port economic impact. Present seaport facilities are barely keeping abreast with new developments in cargo transportation and handling methods. Additionally, major port development problems are magnified by the recent awarenesss of the environmental value of the coastal zone. Only a limited amount of area remains in most ports, both below the …

Defense Contracting Policy: An Interface Mechanism With The Defense Industry, George P. Neyman Iii
Theses and Major Papers
A broad overview of the contractual relationship between the military and the defense industry with emphasis on contracting trends and the impact of these trends on the nature of the defense industry, shipbuilding in particular. A brief historical survey of government contracting from the American Revolution to the present time is designed to review the principal legislative actions developed to control the procurement process. The advantages and disadvantages of the important contract types are discussed. Defense contracting policy is found to be shifting from cost reimbursement contract to the incentive contract. The trend to contract incentives is found to be …
The Development And Constitutionality Of The 1971 Delaware Coastal Zone Act, Francis Cameron
The Development And Constitutionality Of The 1971 Delaware Coastal Zone Act, Francis Cameron
Theses and Major Papers
In June 1971, the Delaware Legislature passed the Delaware Coastal Zone Act that barred heavy manufacturing industry from locating in an area one to six miles deep along the state's 115 mile coastline. The act created a State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board to hear appeals from decisions of the State Planner. In addition, the act prohibited the construction in the bay of marine terminals for the transshipment of liquid and solid bulk materials of any substance, (specifically aimed at offshore oil and coal transfer) from vessels to onshore facilities. The law's immediate effect was to block several hundred million …

S. spiny lobster market; to present Florida’s legal provisions for mariculture and how spiny lobster farming would be acceptable; to indicate the biological considerations for the rearing of spiny lobster larva and postlarva; and to introduce a general plan for the mariculture of spiny lobster, that considers the legal provisions of leasing wetlands in Florida and incorporates the biological considerations of spiny lobster.
Oil Pollution And The Coastal State, J. T. O'Brien
Oil Pollution And The Coastal State, J. T. O'Brien
Theses and Major Papers
It will be the purpose of this paper to pose and answer this question...How has the legal competence of a coastal state been strengthened with respect to that state's ability to prevent marine oil pollution? The question by implication presupposes that a certain change in legal competence is in fact occurring. The legal and historical baseline from which to gauge this gradual change will be established by reviewing past milestones in oil pollution law. A closer examination will then be made of recent evolutionary changes in both international and national oil pollution law subsequent to the Torrey Canyon Disaster of …

The assets, mutual relations and interests of the littoral states comprising each region are described. The interests and methods of …
Containerships: A Point Of Departure Or A Panacea?, Dale S. Brown Jr.
Containerships: A Point Of Departure Or A Panacea?, Dale S. Brown Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
The advent of containerships has revolutionized the world’s shipping industry. In the United States’ struggle to compete for world markets and to improve military logistical support, it must keep abreast of current innovations in sea transport. An examination of the role played by containerships in this new technology must include the exploration of certain key questions. What is the best way to utilize this form of transport? What characteristics should these ships have? What are the best container sizes? Should the ships be self-sustaining, or should they call at ports with discharging facilities? How should companies determine legal problems concerning …
Saltmarsh Ecology And Resource Protection, Gerard Desire Blais Jr.
Saltmarsh Ecology And Resource Protection, Gerard Desire Blais Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
A panoramic lack of conservation education has produced a populace largely unaware of the value of marshland resources or measures for their protection. In a relentless era of ecological abuse, wetlands and salt marshes rank with endangered animal species in the quantitative loss culminating in extinction. Challenged continually by the relentless sea and exploited by unsound attempts at development, management, or even conservation, the efficiency of the marshlands is decreasing with each successive invasion. There is a demonstrated reduction in biological productivity, flood control, and water quality in areas where dredging, draining, and filling of marshes has taken place.
Naval And Merchant Fleet Coordination: A New Maritime Strategy, W. Gibson Carter
Naval And Merchant Fleet Coordination: A New Maritime Strategy, W. Gibson Carter
Theses and Major Papers
The military sealift requirements of the Department of Defense and the cooperation of the Merchant Marine in times of crises, national emergencies and wars are well known. The current trend toward increasing international trade; problems of inadequate U.S. flag commercial shipping fleet and further reductions in the size of the active and reserve naval fleets, require that some cooperative effort be considered in a normal peacetime environment as well as in a crisis role. The majority of the ships of the U.S. Navy and Merchant Marine are well over twenty years old and are inefficient and uneconomical to operate. Positive …
Potential Of Pompano Mariculture In Florida, James Anthony Elias
Potential Of Pompano Mariculture In Florida, James Anthony Elias
Theses and Major Papers
Pompano mariculture is not an attempt to bridge the protein gap, but it has been initiated to provide a constant source of this highly desired marine fish. The current market for pompano is small, however, this has been attributed basically to its supply. It appears from the literature that T. carolinus has the most dominant market position since it has an excellent flavor and sports fishermen prefer it due to its fighting ability when hooked on light tackle. It appears from the published history of attempts to raise pompano, by Berry and Iversen, that one of the major problems in …
A Draft Proposal For The Management Of The Offshore Sand And Gravel Deposits Of The State Of Rhode Island: Guidelines And Model Regulatory Legislation, Malcoolm Johnston Grant
A Draft Proposal For The Management Of The Offshore Sand And Gravel Deposits Of The State Of Rhode Island: Guidelines And Model Regulatory Legislation, Malcoolm Johnston Grant
Theses and Major Papers
The Coastal Resources Management Council is charged with broad responsibility to "develop resource management plans compatible with the needs of the people of Rhode Island, while preserving and enhancing as far as possible the natural qualities of the marine environment." The proper function of coastal management is to maximize the options open to the people of Rhode Island in the development of their coastal resources. This goal can best be realized by providing for the resolution of developmental conflicts before they materialize. Uncontrolled past development and consequent unanticipated use conflicts of many types have already seriously compromised Rhode Island's ability …
Government Oil Policy And Its Effect On Domestic & Offshore Oil Production, James Owers
Government Oil Policy And Its Effect On Domestic & Offshore Oil Production, James Owers
Theses and Major Papers
To date the petroleum industry is second only to the Department of Defense in its stimulation of ocean technology. By the end of 1968, American petroleum companies had invested over 13 billion dollars on the continental shelves of the United States. The development of submersibles, man in the sea, instruments, seismic surveys, mapping and charting, and development of ocean structures and engineering have all been profoundly effected by this massive injection of capital. It is obviously of interest, therefore, to consider policies which affect offshore oil exploration and development. This paper is confined to analyzing three such economic policies in …
Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph
Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph
Theses and Major Papers
A system of underwater search and rescue for non-military submersibles utilizing a helicopter delivered rescue submersible is proposed. In the last 10 years there has been a substantial increase in manned underwater endeavors. This expansion is expected to continue with increasingly greater emphasis in the recreational field. The necessity to overcome the relatively short iife support of the small recreation submersible dictates a rapid response. This system should be capable of providing the lift necessary to rescue the entrapped personnel by bringing the submersible to the surface. At the present time the Coast Guard must rely on other submersible operators …
Obstacles To Economic Progress In Ethiopia's Red Sea Coast And Gulf Of Aden, Abraham Alemayehu
Obstacles To Economic Progress In Ethiopia's Red Sea Coast And Gulf Of Aden, Abraham Alemayehu
Theses and Major Papers
Ethiopia is a coastal state whose overall economic progress has been and still is being affected by a number of coastal and related obstacles. This paper will attempt to discuss each and every one of these obstacles and other relevant aspects in order to justify as much as possible Ethiopia's lack of progress in economic development. By no means these are not the only obstacles responsible for affecting the country's entire economic progress. The obstacles that I would like to present here are only those which are more or less directly related to maritime, geographical and geopolitical problems on the …
The Navy And Aquidneck Island: A Study In The Coastal Zone, Paul Lewis Cohen
The Navy And Aquidneck Island: A Study In The Coastal Zone, Paul Lewis Cohen
Theses and Major Papers
Navy fleet operating bases are all located within the coastal zone; a unique area neither land nor sea. This paper opens with a brief review of the nature of the coastal zone, followed by a discussion of regulations pending in Congress and an example of one state's coastal zone legislation. Navy policies regarding environmental factors that must be considered in land use management are also discussed. Interactions of the U.S. Naval Base, Newport, and non-Navy interests with the coastal zone of Aquidneck Island are examined to develop a model for analysis of these relationships.
The U.S. Merchant Fleet: Patterns For The Seventies (U), Glenn Edward Whisler Jr.
The U.S. Merchant Fleet: Patterns For The Seventies (U), Glenn Edward Whisler Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
An analysis of recent U.S. maritime legislation in order to predict the possible effect it may have on our merchant fleet growth patterns for the seventies. Major attention is devoted to the Merchant Marine Act of 1970 which the Administration and Congress hopes will halt the continuing decline of the U.S. merchant fleet. The investigation is limited to the shipbuilding industry and is concerned primarily with government incentives, provided to both shipbuilders and shipowners, designed to stimulate new building programs. This study finds that the U.S. merchant fleet will experience a healthy growth during this decade as a result of …
