Impact Of Development Of Offshore Oil: East Coast Of South American Case Study, Aldo H. Brussoni
Impact Of Development Of Offshore Oil: East Coast Of South American Case Study, Aldo H. Brussoni
Theses and Major Papers
To analyze this Coastal Management problem it is convenient to have a regional overview of the entire South Atlantic Coast (South America). Go over some of its physical characteristics, the state of development of the offshore oil industry, the volume of its activities, and other related data, the recreational and the fishing industries, the population and its characteristics. This will develop a regional comprehension which is absolutely necessary to have in mind before analyzing the problems of any particular situation created in a country or an area of a country of the Southwest Atlantic Coast. After covering, very generally, all …
Marine Orientation In The Republic Of South Africa, D. A. Bonvouloir
Marine Orientation In The Republic Of South Africa, D. A. Bonvouloir
Theses and Major Papers
Discusses marine orientation in The Republic of South Africa through the following topics; inputs (geography, population, fisheries); input processing (governmental structure, economic development, maritime utilization); decision making processes (Value System as Filter); marine-related decisions (pollution, shipbuilding); and outputs (treaties and agreements, domestic status, conflicts).
Maritime Environment: A Systems Approach, Peter A. Roche
Maritime Environment: A Systems Approach, Peter A. Roche
Theses and Major Papers
Some maritime activities may be independent of each other but most are in competition and some are supportive in one way or other with most other maritime activities. Fisheries and merchant vessels rarely are at odds over matters of ocean traffic. However, both those activities may object to obstructions related to offshore oil drilling. Both municipalities and fisheries complain of merchant vessel pollution. Companies of different, states compete for offshoreoil lease rights. On the other hand, synergy and sublimation sometimes result from interworkings of maritime activities. Complexes of offshore platforms increase fish congregations. Powerplant cooling ponds transmute thermal pollution into …
The Deepwater Port Act Of 1974, James C. Moses
The Deepwater Port Act Of 1974, James C. Moses
Theses and Major Papers
During the past two years of the 93rd Congress, no less than eleven different bills were introduced to deal with the various aspects of deep-water port development. Much has been made of the supposition that with energy conservation, higher petroleum prices, import quotas and all the other gas-saving ideas in vogue, deepwater ports have become an anachronism of pre-energy crisis days, the days of world-scale 400 in tankers and dreams of million-ton ULCC's. The truth of the matter is that we shall still, for an indeterminate period, require imported oil, by the dictum of economics, it will come via the …
A Joint Action Model For Semi-Enclosed Seas: A First Cut, Arthur W. Tate Jr.
A Joint Action Model For Semi-Enclosed Seas: A First Cut, Arthur W. Tate Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
Dr. Lewis Alexander of the University of Rhode Island authored a most informative and incisive paper concerning the relationship of regionalism and the Law of the Sea. In this paper Alexander focused on the special case of the semi-enclosed sea and suggested that the potential for joint action of nations surrounding these seas is worthy of special interest and study. Even a cursory review of a geographic atlas reveals that the 25 seas under consideration constitute rather definitive, logical, potential regions. Nations bordering a particular semi-enclosed sea assume at least one commonality immediately-the bordered sea. Such commonality theoretically infers that …
Regionalization As An Effect Of Offshore Oil And Gas Exploitation: A Case Study Of The North Sea, Mark J. Chittum
Regionalization As An Effect Of Offshore Oil And Gas Exploitation: A Case Study Of The North Sea, Mark J. Chittum
Theses and Major Papers
This study attempts to analyze whether oil and gas exploitation in a semi-enclosed sea will result in closer relations being developed in the region leading to the establishment of a special regime for that sea. The study area is Northwestern Europe which is centered on the North Sea. All the littoral states of Northwestern Europe have major interests in the North Sea, one of which is oil and gas exploitation. This study is developed through the examination of the activities in the North Sea, related to oil and gas production, which tend to join the region together followed by an …
