Cemeteries are considered by most cultures to be sacred spaces. These spaces contain the physical remains of human beings - generally the ancestors of a community - and are held to be inviolate in nature by many.

Among the approaches taken by the State was an ambitious law suit against the federal government that aimed to force more meaningful scientific studies of the impacts of Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas activities in federal waters. For years, the State had decried the damaging impacts of these activities on its coast, from oil spills to increased vessel wakes to the cutting of navigation canals through the wetlands. The State believed that the federal government could, and indeed …
