  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.
