RECENT ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENTS IN MARITIME AND OFFSHORE ACTIVITIES

The Texas Law Institute sponsored a symposium to explain recent federal statutory enactments, court decisions and agency regulations that control marine and offshore pollution. The proceedings of the symposium, are published in this report. The symposium dealt with two broad areas--oil discharge from vessels, and the application of various statutes to water pollution resulting from other activities.
