Maine’s Ocean and Coastal Future: Law and Policy in a Changing World

A symposium presented in partnership between Maine Center Ventures,

Join the Ocean and Coastal Law Journal in Bath on March 27th for a symposium that focuses on three industries that are important to Maine's social and economic development in the coming years: maritime commerce, offshore and tidal energy, and aquaculture.

Maine has a rich coastal, marine, and maritime history. This symposium examines laws and policy that affect Maine’s coastal, marine, and maritime industries, and the ways in which environmental changes are impacting law, policy, and efforts to develop Maine’s marine culture and economy.
