NOAA also called for development of a system for estimating the "comprehensive sound budget for the oceans," which could help reduce human sources of noise -- vessel traffic, sonar and construction activities -- that degrade the environment in which sound-sensitive species communicate. The plans were revealed in a letter from NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco to the White House Council on Environmental Quality. In the letter, Lubchenco said her goal is to reduce adverse effects on marine mammals resulting from the Navy's training exercises. About the Bloggers Environmentalists contend that sonar has a possibly deafening effect on marine mammals. Studies around the world have shown the piercing underwater sounds cause whales to flee in panic or to dive Bettina Boxall too deeply. Whales have been found beached in Greece, the Canary Islands and the Bahamas after Susan Carpenter Tiffany Hsu sonar was used in the area.

  • Beyond Drought: Water Rights in the Age of Permanent Depletion
    Beyond Drought: Water Rights in the Age of Permanent Depletion Burke W. Griggs* INTRODUCTION Drought affects more North Americans than any other natural hazard.1 Over the past two decades, it has returned to the American West with historic intensity. The long drought of 2000–06 across the Great Plains resulted in record low stream flows and record low reservoir levels; in Kansas, it compelled a record number of surface water rights curtailments.2 The Colorado River Basin is caught in the throes of a fifteen-year drought that has reduced water levels in the two largest reservoirs in the United States, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, to unprecedented lows.3 California is experiencing its worst drought since 1976–77, and possibly since 1580.4 Chronic water shortages have driven at least ten states to litigation presently before the Supreme Court of the United States, and most of these cases involve western waters.5 Unlike the Dust Bowl era, when Farm Security Administration photographs of dry streambeds and drought-stricken fields * Consulting Professor, Bill Lane Center for the American West, Stanford University; Special Assistant Attorney General, State of Kansas. 1.

THE TERMS OF THE DEBATE: LITIGATION, ARGUMENTATIVE STRATEGIES, AND COALITIONS IN THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE STRUGGLE MARY ZIEGLER ABSTRACT Why, in the face of ongoing criticism, do advocates of same-sex marriage continue to pursue litigation? Recently, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage, and Gill v. Office of Personnel Management, a lawsuit challenging section three of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, have created divisive debate. Leading scholarship and commentary on the litigation of decisions like Perry and Gill have been strongly critical, predicting that it will produce a backlash that will undermine the same- sex marriage cause. These studies all rely on a particular historical account of past same-sex marriage decisions and their effect on political debate.

    DARLING.TOPRINTER (DO NOT DELETE) 5/17/2018 8:31 PM A Baptism by Incentives: Curing Wildfire Law at the Font of Oil and Gas Regulation* For over sixty years, wildland fires in the United States have been consuming American land to an ever-increasing extent:1 from January 1 through March 31 of 2017 alone, over two million acres of U.S. earth were scorched by wildfires.2 According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, nine out of the ten years with the highest burned acreage counts on record in the United States have occurred within the past seventeen years.3 The cost of residential property destruction, both in terms of quantity and in terms of value, is one significant marker of just the human costs of wildfires. From 2002 to 2011, insured losses4 related to wildfire totaled $7.9 billion, up 364.7% from the previous decade’s total insured losses.5 On at least one rendering, annual American property loss due to wildfire has been estimated to have increased by more than 22,000% between 1960 and the * Deepest gratitude to Professor Jane Cohen for her guidance in structuring and shaping this Note, as well as securing a class visit from the individual whose work inspired it—Professor Karen Bradshaw of Arizona State University. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their tireless support throughout my law school career.

  • Supreme Court Favors Environmentalists in Urban Runoff Case
    Supreme Court favors environmentalists in urban runof case - Los Angeles Times 5/20/14, 1:50 PM Supreme Court favors environmentalists in urban runoff case Urban runoff is the leading cause of water pollution in Southern California. Above, trash and debris washed downstream in 2005 by storm drains and the Los Angeles River litter the shore near downtown Long Beach. (Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times) By BETTINA BOXALL MAY 5, 2014, 8:24 PM he U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to review a long-running Los Angeles County case, handing a victory to environmentalists in a battle over polluted urban runoff that T fouls Southern California's coastal waters. The justices let stand a federal appeals court ruling that held the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and the county liable for storm water pollution flowing into the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers from the region's sprawling storm drain system. The high court's action does not end the case, however, which will now go back to the U.S. District http://www.latimes.com/science/la-me-supreme-court-water-20140506-story.html Page 1 of 17 Supreme Court favors environmentalists in urban runof case - Los Angeles Times 5/20/14, 1:50 PM Court in Los Angeles for further proceedings. Despite the lack of finality, environmental attorney Steve Fleischli called the Supreme Court action "hugely significant." "The county can no longer deny these violations.... That conversation should now end and we can move toward actually solving this problem," said Fleischli, water program director for the Natural Resources Defense Council.
