Note to Readers: In addition to The Environmental Forum, the Environmental Law Institute publishes a number of periodicals and reports that ELI Associates may not ordinarily see.

Research & Policy | Stretching Supplies in a Prior-Appropriation World

Headnote: Recent experience and most forecasts suggest that the West will face unprecedented water management challenges in the coming decades. If the objective is doing more with less, the law should allow and indeed support that end.

Research & Policy | Planning for Our Oceans’ Future

Headnote: No individual tool can single-handedly support coastal and marine spatial planning.

Environmental Law Institute

Headnote: Determining responsibility for wetland mitigation is not always a straight-forward process. A recent real-life example highlights the need for regulators to understand corporate structure in dealing with the variety of legal entities that can assume responsibility for a site.

Stetson University College of Law
