Perceptions Of Fin-Fish Aquaculture: A Multi-Scalar Policy Perspective, 2017 Huxley College of the Environment, Western Washington University
Perceptions Of Fin-Fish Aquaculture: A Multi-Scalar Policy Perspective, Jordan Wrigley
Graduate Student Symposium
Fin-fish aquaculture presents a problem for planners and policy-makers. While there are negative environmental impacts and questions regarding aquaculture's sustainability, there are also benefits such as increased local food production. Solutions balancing these detriments and benefits are often obscured by ingrained perceptions of aquaculture leading to exclusionary or suppressive outcomes and a lack of exploration into aquaculture's value within various contexts. To examine these perceptions, I developed a multi-scalar series of studies at the national, regional, and individual levels.
The collected results of the three studies suggest aquaculture awareness and perceptions are context-dependant. Nuances in national data also suggest there …
Save Our Ships: How U.S. National Security Interests Affect The Human Rights Of Stranded Seafarers As A Result Of Shipping Bankruptcies, 2017 Brooklyn Law School
Save Our Ships: How U.S. National Security Interests Affect The Human Rights Of Stranded Seafarers As A Result Of Shipping Bankruptcies, Michelle S. Lee
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
Hanjin Shipping Company declared bankruptcy in September 2016. The South Korean shipping giant, owner of dozens of massive shipping vessels, was suddenly engulfed in multiple bankruptcy proceedings all over the world. When a major company such as Hanjin falls, the attention is focused mainly on the money, statistics, and the corporate heads. There is rarely a spotlight on how such a collapse affects the workers. With Hanjin at the forefront of the new wave of shipping bankruptcies, it will be increasingly important to understand the realities of the financial disasters on the lives of the company’s employees. This Note will …
Turkey And The International Law Of The Sea, 2017 Penn State Law
Turkey And The International Law Of The Sea, Ekrem Korkut
SJD Dissertations
The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea [hereinafter: LOSC] is widely accepted as the constitution of the oceans. Only four countries in the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea voted against the LOSC: The United States, Venezuela, Israel, and Turkey. Turkey voted against the LOSC because of dissatisfaction with the provision concerning the breadth of the territorial sea (Article 3), the delimitation of the territorial sea (Article 15), and the regime of islands (Article 121). With regard to other provisions of the LOSC, Turkish delegates at the Conference made supportive explanations. This …
Treaty Of Tordesillas Syndrome: Sovereignty Ad Absurdum And The South China Sea Arbitration, 2017 University of Iowa College of Law
Treaty Of Tordesillas Syndrome: Sovereignty Ad Absurdum And The South China Sea Arbitration, Christopher R. Rossi
Cornell International Law Journal
The South China Sea is the fifth largest body of water in the world. It accounts for five trillion dollars in annual commercial activity involving a third of maritime traffic worldwide. China claims wide-ranging sovereign rights over upwards of ninety percent of this Sea via a controversial U-shaped line. Its claim upsets regional stability and portends a coming conflict with the United States, the world's supreme maritime power, over the application of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). China claims its sovereign authority predates UNCLOS by millennia; critics date China's claim to 1947. Already described …
Combat Losses Of Nuclear-Powered Warships: Contamination, Collateral Damage And The Law, 2017 Osaka University Graduate School of International Public Policy
Combat Losses Of Nuclear-Powered Warships: Contamination, Collateral Damage And The Law, Akira Mayama
International Law Studies
There have been non-combat losses of nuclear-powered warships during sea trials and peacetime patrol missions. Nuclear contamination is spreading from some of these sinking sites. It is also conceivable that combat losses of nuclear-powered warships could cause contamination of civilians, civilian objects and the natural environment. If such combat losses occur at sea, both belligerent and neutral States will have to deal with a difficult question: to what extent and by who can harm resulting from such contamination be compensated for payment of damages. This article examines legal issues stemming from prospective combat losses of nuclear-powered warships from the perspectives …
Adrift In The Sea: The Impact Of The Business Supply Chain Transparency On Trafficking And Slavery Act Of 2015 On Forced Labor In The Thai Fishing Industry, 2017 Indiana University Maurer School of Law
Adrift In The Sea: The Impact Of The Business Supply Chain Transparency On Trafficking And Slavery Act Of 2015 On Forced Labor In The Thai Fishing Industry, Katharine Fischman
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Hundreds of thousands of men and boys are trafficked and enslaved on long-haul fishing boats in the waters off the coast of Thailand. These captives endure physical and mental abuse, inhumane working conditions, meager sustenance, and little sleep as they are forced to catch fish used in products such as cat food. This Note will focus on whether a proposed Act-the Business Supply Chain Transparency on Trafficking and Slavery Act of 2015 (BSCT)-would impact the issue of forced labor linked to the seafood industry in Thailand, and particularly the portion of the industry that supplies fish used in American brand …
A Case Ill Suited For Judgment: Constructing ‘A Sovereign Access To The Sea’ In The Atacama Desert, 2017 University of Miami Law School
A Case Ill Suited For Judgment: Constructing ‘A Sovereign Access To The Sea’ In The Atacama Desert, Christopher R. Rossi
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
In 2015, the International Court of Justice ruled that Bolivia’s claim against Chile could proceed to the merit stage, setting up this Article’s discussion of perhaps the most intractable border dispute in South American history – Bolivia’s attempt to reclaim from Chile a ‘sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean’. This Article investigates the international law and deeply commingled regional history pertaining to the Atacama Desert region, the hyperarid yet resource-rich region through which Bolivia seeks to secure its long-lost access to the sea. Investigating the factual circumstances (effectivités), the post-colonial international legal principle of uti possidetis, territorial temptations arising …

The Uncertain Status Of The Puerto Rico Ports Authority: Working Towards A Uniform Arm-Of-The-State Test, 2017 University of Richmond
The Uncertain Status Of The Puerto Rico Ports Authority: Working Towards A Uniform Arm-Of-The-State Test, Jessica Landry Wildeus
Law Student Publications
Many port authorities are allocated special status and therefore partake in the parent state’s Eleventh Amendment immunity as effective arms-of-the-state. This serves several important policy goals, yet the precedent surrounding the arm-of-the-state test is muddled. This results in different tests and standards, depending on the court hearing the case, leading to different results for different entities. The Port Authority of Puerto Rico (“PRPA”) is in an especially vulnerable situation, due to its dual function as a governmental and corporate entity. The unclear status of what role the function of an entity should play in determining its status under the Eleventh …

Bunker Intermediaries And Their Rights To A Maritime Lien Under Cimla, Chresanthe E. Staurulakis
Law Student Publications
Fuel intermediaries supply a valuable service in today’s shipping industry, playing a supporting role in the operation of cargo carriers, by box or in bulk. Working for the vessel, fuel intermediaries order “bunkers” from local physical suppliers and arrange for the suppliers to “stem” the vessel when she reaches the specified port. Such a service is crucial where vessels run international routes on tight schedules and risk delay due to language barriers, changes in currencies or changes in port requirements. Regarded within the industry as “local experts,” intermediaries leverage their knowledge, technology, resources and people to connect the vessel with …

An Ocean Between Us: The Implications Of Inconsistencies Between The Navigational Laws Of Coastal Arctic Council Nations And The United Nations Convention On The Law Of The Sea For Arctic Navigation, 2017 Vanderbilt University Law School
An Ocean Between Us: The Implications Of Inconsistencies Between The Navigational Laws Of Coastal Arctic Council Nations And The United Nations Convention On The Law Of The Sea For Arctic Navigation, Laura C. Williams
Vanderbilt Law Review
Appraisal rights are codified by section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), which grants dissenting target shareholders in a merger the right to seek judicially determined fair value for their shares.' Appraisal rights therefore aim to protect dissenting shareholders from majority expropriation. 2 However, a new class of shareholders has emerged, testing the bounds of this remedy. "Appraisal arbitrageurs" are hedge funds who seek to exploit the once seldom- used appraisal remedy by buying target company stock after the announcement of the merger solely to pursue appraisal. These appraisal arbitrageurs have fueled the ongoing resurgence of appraisal litigation, …

Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction: Current Debate And Indonesia's Interest, Gulardi Nurbintoro, Haryo Budi Nugroho
Indonesia Law Review
The drafters of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) have left behind a lacunae in terms of the regulations concerning Biodiversity in the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ). As living organisms are found in the deep seabed in areas beyond national jurisdiction, as well as the utilization of marine genetic resources beyond national jurisdiction for commercial purposes, States are currently deliberating on the proper regime in dealing with the management and exploitation of the biodiversity. Some States argue that Part XI UNCLOS applies hence BBNJ is also part of the Common Heritage of Mankind. On …
