Taking Stock: The Magnuson-Stevens Act Revisited
8th MARINE LAW SYMPOSIUM
November 4-5, 2010
Roger Williams University School of Law
Bristol, RI
Since passage in 1976, the Magnuson-Stevens Act has been the basis of one of the most compelling natural resource management issues of our time: the sustainable management of our nation's fisheries. The law has been amended several times and the subject of contentious debate and litigation in response to rapidly evolving information and policy objectives. The Symposium examined the current and future state of this body of law as a resource management scheme, including the complex integration of scientific, economic, and social information.
The Rhode Island MCLE Commission approved 11 CLE hours (no ethics credits) for the Symposium.
