Ending Subsidized Degradation: The Ocean Dumping Example, Brenda Asher Dillman
Ending Subsidized Degradation: The Ocean Dumping Example, Brenda Asher Dillman
Theses and Major Papers
There is no way to measure, on a global scale, the pollution dumped directly into the oceans, let alone all the tens of thousands of particulates, toxics, and gaseous substances are added each day to the atmosphere surrounding the New York Bight. The aim of this paper is to develop a user fee framework for the ocean dumping of municipal sludge. Such a proposal requires a radical departure from the standards and enforcement approach of today's legislation. The ocean dumping of municipal sludge, while accounting for only a small percentage of the total waste dumped into the Bight, has proven …
The Prospects Of The Kra Canal, Pannarai Chuapibul
The Prospects Of The Kra Canal, Pannarai Chuapibul
Theses and Major Papers
The controversies over the prospects of the Kra Canal persuade me to write my major paper about it.

U. S. Arctic Oil: A Perspective, William T. Decamp
U. S. Arctic Oil: A Perspective, William T. Decamp

It is more important that U.S. policy goals are perceived among its Arctic allies as being …
Chartering Recreational Boats In The United States: A Compilation And Analysis Of Applicable Federal Maritime Law, Mary Nathalie Peter
Chartering Recreational Boats In The United States: A Compilation And Analysis Of Applicable Federal Maritime Law, Mary Nathalie Peter
Theses and Major Papers
No single primary source exists to provide current and would-be participants in recreational charter boat operations in the United States with a basic legal understanding of their rights and obligations. The relevant federal maritime standards, laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations are scattered in isolated codebooks, reporters, and bulletins. Moreover, the governing body of law for boat chartering is admiralty law, which has been shaped throughout the centuries primarily by the traditions and dictates of the commercial shipping and shipbuilding industries. As a result, the logic behind the admiralty framework tends to be obscure when viewed in the context of a …
