Marine Affairs Institute focuses on timely
legal and policy issues raised by the development
and use of the oceans and coastal zones.
The Institute presents research
results through a variety of programs and
symposia including a lecture series, an

of the Limitation of Liability Act.
The Institute also works closely with

of students with interests in admiralty,
maritime, and environmental law.
