The Mediterranean Coast Of Israel: A Planner's Approach, Sophia Professorsky
The Mediterranean Coast Of Israel: A Planner's Approach, Sophia Professorsky
Theses and Major Papers
The coastal zone of Israel is facing an ever-growing pressure of varied and conflicting land uses. Spreading urbanization, from Nahariya in the north to Ashkelon in the south, gnaws agricultural areas; the needs for commercial ports and industrial plants stand in conflict with recreational uses of the seashore and, as described before, the natural conditions of land shelf structure, topography and climate, are favourable for both industry and residence so that the narrow stretch of the coastal zone attracts more and more of them.
Channel Improvements, New London, Connecticut: A Case Study, E. L. Gallup
Channel Improvements, New London, Connecticut: A Case Study, E. L. Gallup
Theses and Major Papers
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is one of the largest single Federal agencies involved in the planning, design and construction of public waterborne transportation facilities. A critical review of a typical corps of Engineers survey report on the improvements to a harbor should provide an insight to the means of allocating the costs and benefits resulting from government expenditures. The purpose of this paper is to review this process using as a vehicle the proposed improvements to the navigation channel at New London, Connecticut
A Regional Perspective For Coastal Zone Management In New England, Susan Holliday Anderson
A Regional Perspective For Coastal Zone Management In New England, Susan Holliday Anderson
Theses and Major Papers
To emphasize the need for a regional perspective of the coastal zone in effective planning in New England, the characteristics that make New England a distinct marine region and the use conflicts that are specific to this region are explored in the discussion that follows.The extent to which the New England states have developed coastal zone management, both in incremental local and state practice and through comprehensive plans, is also discussed. Within New England, there are regional organizations that provide assistance and guidance in matters relating to the coastal zone, but to date, most of their efforts have been directed …
Elements Of Tanzanian Coastal Planning, James J. Griffin
Elements Of Tanzanian Coastal Planning, James J. Griffin
Theses and Major Papers
The purpose of this paper is to examine aspects of a Coastal Zone Plan as it applies to the Republic of Tanzania with its differences from and similarities to, the United States coastal zone planning experience. Possibly, as a result, some feeling for the problem of organizational concepts and approaches, as well as the current need for Tanzanian coastal zone management will emerge.
Organizing New England Commercial Fishermen; Local, State, And Regional Efforts, William Hoit Mackenzie
Organizing New England Commercial Fishermen; Local, State, And Regional Efforts, William Hoit Mackenzie
Theses and Major Papers
New England commercial fishermen are organizing to resolve problems among themselves and influence fishery-related decisions at all levels of government. A need emerged for regional fishermen's groups which, with a potential for large membership, substantial financing, and a full-time staff, could speak for the New England fishermen. A national organizing effort could grow from that base. This study details several forms which fishery organizations have taken at local and state levels. Emphasis is then placed on the formation, growth, and operating procedures of the two New England regional efforts.
Comprehensive Land Use Planning: Its Development And Potential Impact On Coastal Zone Management, Raymond A. Siuta
Comprehensive Land Use Planning: Its Development And Potential Impact On Coastal Zone Management, Raymond A. Siuta
Theses and Major Papers
Presently, the United States is in the midst of a "revolution" concerning the management and use regulation of its land resources. This peaceful "revolution" is occurring as a consequence of local government's inability to properly enforce land use controls and to adequately cope with rapid land development. However, this paper in discussing land use controls comments only on those comprehensive efforts directly affecting the coastal zone or indirectly affecting it through all-inclusive land manage regulations. This narrow discussion should not indicate to the reader that specific land use proposals have not been introduce for impact on other physiographic regions.
The Federal Waste Water Treatment System Construction Grant Program: What It Requires Of States And How It Works, L. C. Leopold
The Federal Waste Water Treatment System Construction Grant Program: What It Requires Of States And How It Works, L. C. Leopold
Theses and Major Papers
This paper is the result of a study conducted to inform the author as to how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relates to state and intrastate programs that deal with waste water treatment systems in a coastal state. The investigation centered on how EPA actually manages its functions and assistance directed towards state-level and local-level efforts to control sewage treatment facilities. The study was not limited only to the federal-to-state-flow dynamics. It also looked at areas of purely state function, state-to-local flow, and also the opposite situation of local-to-sate-to-federal oriented inputs.
The Legal Aspects Of Containerization, C. Douglas Skinner
The Legal Aspects Of Containerization, C. Douglas Skinner
Theses and Major Papers
A not-so-quiet revolution has been sweeping the transportation industry with the advent of containerization, a practice wherein goods are loaded into a 20' by 40' x 8' box of metal, wood or fiberglass, sealed, and shipped as a unit or package via rail, truck, freighter, or even air. While the use of the container for point-to-point shipment is part of the larger aspect of intermodal transportation, or the process through which the container travels by way of the differing methods or modes of transportation, this paper will deal primarily in how the ocean shipping industry interacts legally with the other …
Solid Waste Disposal And Ocean Dumping, John William Sellers
Solid Waste Disposal And Ocean Dumping, John William Sellers
Theses and Major Papers
A broad-scope overview of the solid waste disposal problem as intensified by legislation against ocean dumping of such wastes. Since the problem of increasing ocean pollution was partly solved by extensive restrictions on ocean dumping, wastes formerly disposed of in the oceans must now be disposed of by other methods. These alternative methods are discussed and cost estimates applied insofar as feasible; effects on the environment and on the conservation of natural resources are also discussed. Efforts should be directed to determine the level of solid waste disposal which would result in beneficial effects, or at the worst, in non-harmful …
Environmental Improvement: A Concept For Harbor Maintenance Programs For Long Island Sound, John-Robert Curtin
Environmental Improvement: A Concept For Harbor Maintenance Programs For Long Island Sound, John-Robert Curtin
Theses and Major Papers
This paper suggests a comprehensive approach to maintenance dredging and maintenance dredge disposal for Connecticut in a carefully-regulated manner that will improve, rather than impair, the natural quality of the Sound. It proposes an interim measure that would allow for the continued operation of Connecticuts Commercial Harbor areas until a permanent program, together with the necessary technological advances, can be implemented to handle dredge disposal. This paper is based on data presently available on New Haven Harbor, presented in a report on the environmental quality of dredge spoils proposed to be removed from one area within New Haven Harbor known …
Offshore Oil Interests Of The United States: An Overview, Scott H. Marstan
Offshore Oil Interests Of The United States: An Overview, Scott H. Marstan
Theses and Major Papers
The following discussion focuses on the current situation as regards U.S. oil interests worldwide offshore. It divides into three general areas: 1) a general view of the scope of the U.S. oil companies' investments offshore, foreign and domestic, 2) an analysis of the recent rise to power of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the ensuing problems created for U.S. oil investments abroad, and 3) a brief history and a discussion of U.S. oil interests in the law of the sea as an expression of their concern for resolution to OPEC-like problems.
