Contemporary problems of private ownership and riparian/litoral rights, as well as the rights of the general public and public authorities, are studied in combination with federal and state statutory schemes of land use control, marine fisheries conservation, and resource exploration. Attention also given to the role of the Civil Law and to legal ramifications of Louisiana’s coastal erosion and restoration program.
