Applying Life Insurance Principles To Coastal Property Insurance To Incentivize Adaptation To Climate Change, Edward P. Richards
Applying Life Insurance Principles To Coastal Property Insurance To Incentivize Adaptation To Climate Change, Edward P. Richards
Journal Articles
Current levels of greenhouse gases will result in significant sea level rise in the future, irrespective of the success of any future mitigation efforts. Paleoclimate and geologic data from past periods of rising sea level show that low lying areas, especially river deltas which are home to half a billion people, will be inundated. The best way to represent this risk through insurance is to apply the human-life insurance model to coastal property insurance. Human-life insurance is based on the assumption that every insured will die. Because the risk of death increases with age, the cost of insurance increases with …

Integrating Local Waterfront Revitalization Into Local Comprehensive Planning And Zoning, Patricia E. Salkin
Integrating Local Waterfront Revitalization Into Local Comprehensive Planning And Zoning, Patricia E. Salkin
Patricia E. Salkin
By 2004, more than half of the United States population resided within fifty miles of the coastline, contributing to the mounting pressures on waterfront development. Local waterfront revitalization plans have great potential to efficiently guide community and coastal development in a coordinated fashion across municipal boundaries. Coordination includes intermunicipal and intergovernmental cooperation and consistency as well as coordination between planning and land use controls within the coastal zone and within the boundaries of coastal communities. Part I of this article examines the history of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)with a particular examination of the Act's impact on local comprehensive …
Essential Fish Habitat And Coastal Zone Management: Business As Usual Under The Magnuson-Stevens Act?, Lee Benaka, Dennis Nixon
Essential Fish Habitat And Coastal Zone Management: Business As Usual Under The Magnuson-Stevens Act?, Lee Benaka, Dennis Nixon
Golden Gate University Law Review
Part I of this article provides a brief overview of how fish habitat conservation became a significant priority for NMFS and how and why provisions to ensure habitat conservation were introduced into the Magnuson-Stevens Act. We describe how the brief language in the Magnuson-Stevens Act was interpreted by the NMFS through its Interim Final Rule and controversies related to that interpretation. Part II examines the response of management agencies in the Gulf of Mexico to the EFH policy. Specifically, this case study reviews an amendment created by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council to address EFH requirements and describes …
The Regulation Of Biological Pollution: Preventing Exotic Species Invasions From Ballast Water Discharged Into California Coastal Waters, Andrew N. Cohen, Brent Foster
The Regulation Of Biological Pollution: Preventing Exotic Species Invasions From Ballast Water Discharged Into California Coastal Waters, Andrew N. Cohen, Brent Foster
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Part I of this article, we describe ballast water's use, its contribution to biological invasions, and the technical approaches that could be used to combat the problem. In Part II, we describe opportunities for employing existing laws and regulations to manage ballast discharges in California. We first discuss the limitations of international, federal and state laws that have tried to address ballast discharges of exotic organisms as a shipping issue. We then consider the potential for regulating ballast discharges under federal and state laws aimed at controlling water pollution, protecting wildlife, ensuring the assessment, disclosure and mitigation of environmental …
Does The U.S. Government Realize That The Sea Is Rising? How To Restructure Federal Programs So That Wetlands And Beaches Survive, James G. Titus
Does The U.S. Government Realize That The Sea Is Rising? How To Restructure Federal Programs So That Wetlands And Beaches Survive, James G. Titus
Golden Gate University Law Review
This article examines practical federal options to prepare for one of the impacts of global warming-sea level rise. Part I examines the implications of greenhouse gases for our coastal zones, explains the causes and effects of sea level rise, and analyzes the implications of various responses. Part II examines how specific federal policies are currently failing to address existing and projected sea level rise, and enumerates a number of modest changes that may well have been included in these programs to begin with, had sea level rise been as well recognized when the programs were created as it is today. …

Taking Precedents In The Tidelands: Refocusing On Eminent Domain, W. Wade Berryhill
Taking Precedents In The Tidelands: Refocusing On Eminent Domain, W. Wade Berryhill
Law Faculty Publications
The focus of this article is on the state's power of eminent domain as a means of controlling the use of scarce coastal resources. However, in order to determine whether this rather drastic exercise of governmental power is the most appropriate means of effecting its purposes, the state or its delegate must consider the alternatives. This article therefore will first examine briefly other possible means of control; it will then discuss the substantive and procedural requirements of eminent domain; and finally, it will consider problems of post-acquisition resource management.
