The Marine Mammal Protection Act And International Protection Of Cetaceans: A Unilateral Attempt To Effectuate Transnational Conservation, Laura L. Lones

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note examines how the United States has used the Marine Mammal Protection Act to further international protection of cetaceans--dolphins, porpoises, and whales.

The author next describes the international operation of the Act as amended in 1984 by surveying those sections that have an impact on United States relations with other states and the regulations and cases that implement those sections. The author concludes that these restrictions have produced a decline in porpoise mortality, although more can be done. The author next describes the successes of the Act's treaty program. …

Vanderbilt Law Review

In an effort to provide the background necessary to maximize the land trust's potential, this Article undertakes a three-part analysis, focusing on (1) the steps necessary to organize the land trust; (2) the techniques that may be used to accomplish the transfer of property to the land trust; and (3) the tax consequences associated with the land trust's conservation activities-consequences that may dictate the form that the transfer will take and upon which the success or failure of the preservation effort may hinge.

Though disagreements about fishery matters were common in international diplomacy, states did not dispute their freedom to fish the high seas without regulation. Both in the Northeast and Northwest Atlantic the issues of fishery diplomacy were largely restricted to marketing …
