The Impact Of The Federal Water Pollution Control Act On The Discharge Of Sanitary Waste From United States Navy Ships, William G. Fidyk
The Impact Of The Federal Water Pollution Control Act On The Discharge Of Sanitary Waste From United States Navy Ships, William G. Fidyk
Theses and Major Papers
During the late 1960's and early 1970's several significant pieces of environmental legislation were enacted. These pieces of legislation were designed to restore, improve, preserve and protect our natural resources. The legislation with the most impact on the United State Navy and Naval vessels has been the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. In order to meet the statutory requirements of the Clean Water Act, the United States Navy had to embark on a program to: modify existing vessels with Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD's) and install such devices on new construction ships.
International And U.S. Inland Navigation Rules And Lng Transport, Robert P. Garrett
International And U.S. Inland Navigation Rules And Lng Transport, Robert P. Garrett
Theses and Major Papers
Involved in the extensive research that was required by this study included; a research of publications dealing with the engineering and construction of LNG vessels, review of tests conducted by the U.S. Coast guard and the U.S. Bureau of Mines dealing with the possible spill of LNG, establishment of the dangers of LNG, establishment of the U.S. Coast Guard Inland and International Rules of Navigation and how they relate to the safe navigation of LNG vessels, and recommendations for amendments and/or changes to the navigation rules to better ensure the safe navigation of LNG vessels.
The Effect Of Deep Sea Bed Mining On Strategic Minerals And National Security, Gary R. Hammond
The Effect Of Deep Sea Bed Mining On Strategic Minerals And National Security, Gary R. Hammond
Theses and Major Papers
Deep sea bed mining has been a topic of considerable debate since it became technically and economically viable as a mining venture in the mid 1960's. The availability of manganese nodules has been determined through costly "prospecting" operations and their existence in sufficient quantity and quality has been found to be adequate for the mining industry. Though the future of the nodule mining is undetermined, it is the purpose of this paper to determine its impact on the national management of its associated strategic minerals and national security.
The Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act: Legality And Necessity The U.S. Perspective, Thomas P. Beatty
The Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act: Legality And Necessity The U.S. Perspective, Thomas P. Beatty
Theses and Major Papers
In June of 1980, the President of the United States signed into law the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act, a piece of national legislation that will most definitely have international repercussions. The developing nations of the world are strongly opposed to unilateralism on the part of any nation, contending the minerals of the deep seabed belong to all nations and, therefore, the benefit from the exploitation of those minerals should likewise be shared by all nations. Why then, against such firm opposition from the less developed countries of the world, did the United States opt for unilateralism instead of …
Maritime Boundary Disputes As A Constraint To The Commercialization Of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion In The Caribbean Sea, Philip Erwin Haring
Maritime Boundary Disputes As A Constraint To The Commercialization Of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion In The Caribbean Sea, Philip Erwin Haring
Theses and Major Papers
This thesis is an examination of the effect which the commercialization of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) will have on the delimitation of maritime boundaries in the Caribbean, and the extent to which boundary disputes will reduce the area available for OTEC facility deployment there. The first chapter is a discussion of OTEC and the prospects for commercialization in the next ten to fifteen years. The second chapter is an analysis of the development of the international law of the sea, and how that evolution has stabilized in recent years establishing a jurisdictional regime in which coastal states control the …
A Comparison Of Global Conventions Concerned With Controlling Ship-Borne Pollution On The High Seas, Robert F. Ogurek
A Comparison Of Global Conventions Concerned With Controlling Ship-Borne Pollution On The High Seas, Robert F. Ogurek
Theses and Major Papers
This paper will compare the global conventions concerned with controlling ship-borne pollution, noting the major differences in regulations concerned with the prevention, control and reporting of pollution incidents, as well as the enforcement provisions of these conventions. Section I of this paper will be a discussion of the provisions made in the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea Draft Convention on the Law of the Sea (not yet in force) concerning ship-borne pollution. Section II will be a discussion of the major global conventions, both those presently in force and those yet to enter into force, …
Promotion Of Distant-Water Fishing Industry In Taiwan, Dah-Wen Shieh
Promotion Of Distant-Water Fishing Industry In Taiwan, Dah-Wen Shieh
Theses and Major Papers
The growth of distant-water fishing industry in Taiwan has been steady during the period from 1965-1973. However, since 1973, the slow expansion of distant-water fisheries has been reflected in both the production side and the decreasing catch per unit effort. The increasing operation costs and the shrinking fishing grounds are mainly attributable to the limitation of distant-water fishing industry. The small scale of fishing companies with small-sized vessels also resulted in the inefficient operation in this highly competitive business. For Taiwan, distant-water fishing is not only a means of meeting general protein requirements for its population but also an important …
