Ocean and coastal law has grown rapidly in the past three decades as a specialty area within natural resources law and environmental law. The protection of oceans has received increased attention in the past decade because of sea-level rise, ocean acidification, the global overfishing crisis, widespread depletion of marine biodiversity such as marine mammals and coral reefs, and marine pollution. Paralleling the growth of ocean and coastal law, climate change regulation has emerged as a focus of international environmental diplomacy, and has gained increased attention in the wake of disturbing and abrupt climate change related impacts throughout the world that have profound implications for ocean and coastal regulation and marine resources. Climate Change Impacts on Ocean and Coastal Law effectively unites these two worlds. It raises important questions about whether and how ocean and coastal law will respond to the regulatory challenges that climate change presents to resources in the oceans and coasts of the U.S. and the world. This comprehensive work assembles the insights of global experts from academia and major NGOs (e.g., Center for International Environmental Law, Ocean Conservancy, and Environmental Law Institute) to address regulatory challenges from the perspectives of U.S. law, foreign domestic law, and international law.

Ocean and Coastal Resources Law is a topical and up-to-date resource for those interested in marine law and policy and the land uses near marine areas, and how they interact. Ocean and Coastal Resources Law, 4e, provides an interdisciplinary approach that combines cases and materials with key sources from science, economics, and business. Ocean and Coastal Resources Law prepares students for practice as lawyers in a variety of fields, such as conservation and marine protection, oil and gas and renewable energy development, coastal land use, real estate, development, and work in nongovernmental organizations and federal and state regulatory agencies. The Fourth Edition adds updated materials related to the rapidly developing law of climate adaptation, e.g., fisheries regulation as fish populations relocate, and the regulation of coastal structure protection as sea levels rise. New to the Fourth Edition: Coverage of domestic and international ocean law, protected marine species, and off-shore industrial development Updated materials on renewable energy and aquaculture In-depth treatment of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. A holistic view of how activities on the seas affect coastal land activities, and vice versa Updates throughout Coastal Law chapters through 2023 New points for discussion Refreshed problem exercises Professors and students will benefit from: Coverage of domestic and international ocean law—richly illustrated and accessibly written The back-to-back organization of Ocean Law and Coastal Law chapters may be easily adapted to syllabi on Ocean Law, Coastal Law, or Ocean and Coastal Law courses Interdisciplinary materials from law, science, economics, and business inform and add perspective to a range of subjects—such as conservation, land use, and industry regulation—preparing students for careers as lawyers in a variety of fields Points for discussion highlight connections between cases and topics and raise questions that encourage students to articulate a response to issues of law and policy

Coastal Governance provides a clear overview of how U.S. coasts are currently managed and explores new approaches that could make our shores healthier. Drawing on recent national assessments, Professor Richard Burroughs explains why traditional management techniques have ultimately proved inadequate, leading to polluted waters, declining fisheries, and damaged habitat. He then introduces students to governance frameworks that seek to address these shortcomings by considering natural and human systems holistically. The book considers the ability of sector-based management, spatial management, and ecosystem-based management to solve critical environmental problems. Evaluating governance successes and failures, Burroughs covers topics including sewage disposal, dredging, wetlands, watersheds, and fisheries. He shows that at times sector-based management, which focuses on separate, individual uses of the coasts, has been implemented effectively. But he also illustrates examples of conflict, such as the incompatibility of waste disposal and fishing in the same waters. Burroughs assesses spatial and ecosystem-based management’s potential to address these conflicts. The book familiarizes students not only with current management techniques but with the policy process. By focusing on policy development, Coastal Governance prepares readers with the knowledge to participate effectively in a governance system that is constantly evolving. This understanding will be critical as students become managers, policymakers, and citizens who shape the future of the coasts.
