Fisher Management Regimes And Fisheries Governance In Floodplain Wetland Of Assam, Ganesh Chandra

Claims that the property rights central to these regimes can be revoked without Fifth-Amendment takings implications – as a result of applying various doctrines or of limitations inherent in the rights as granted – are historically and legally unsound, and doctrinally unwise.
