The recent dispute between Green Park Estate and the Water Assets Regulatory Auhority (WARMA) highlighted the increased need for developers and prospective land owners to conduct thorough due diligence prior to purchasing land near restricted areas. COCA's article explores why due diligence is vital prior to purchasing land near Riparian Land, Military Instalments, Forests, Railways and other restricted areas. https://lnkd.in/d7r-zzVs

To #Coastal communities and professionals, go check this out 👀 🤓 Workshop to present 15 pilot 'use cases' designed to support the implementation of EU Directives at the national level. How these projects used the Copernicus Marine Service (free and open data) to answer their questions. Approaches to: * Downscale monitoring activities: Tailoring data from the open ocean to specific coastal regions; and or * Enhance user-focused services: Developing practical applications for marine policy and governance stakeholders.

https://lnkd.in/dFtWi9tn Critical Maritime Infrastructure and the Regime of the EEZ: A Blank Cheque for Saboteurs? Written by Christian Schaller July 11, 2024 The previous analysis has shown that there are several avenues for coastal States to assert enforcement powers to protect critical infrastructure in their EEZs. In the Arctic Sunrise arbitral award, the Arbitral Tribunal discussed options for taking law enforcement measures “in the strict sense”. Legal authority for law enforcement action against ships that are reasonably suspected of committing or preparing acts of sabotage against critical infrastructure in the EEZ may be derived from LOSC Article 60(4) (in relation to infrastructure located within safety zones), and possibly from LOSC Articles 79(2), 208(1), 214, and 73(1) (in relation to infrastructure the destruction of which poses a particular risk to the marine environment). Moreover, the Arbitral Tribunal examined “more broadly” the coastal State’s legal power to protect its rights and interests in the EEZ. In this regard, the Tribunal emphasised that coastal States have the right to take appropriate measures to prevent interference with their sovereign rights for the exploration and exploitation of the non-living resources of their EEZs and continental shelves. It follows from LOSC Articles 56 and 77 that this also applies to the living resources of the EEZ and continental shelf. Apart from that, however, it is difficult to argue that coastal States have additional residual rights in the EEZ. Claiming general jurisdiction in military and security matters would be closer to China’s vision of the EEZ than to the liberal position traditionally held by Western States.

The Submerged Lands Act of 1953 (SLA) led to the passage of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953 (OCSLA), which defines BSEE jurisdiction & regulatory responsibility on federal offshore lands. Both SLA & OCSLA affirm the federal claim to the lands of the Outer Continental Shelf, which consists of those submerged lands seaward of state jurisdiction. #reliabilty #protection #people #sustainability

Link takes you to a short story about one of our tenants that benefited from expedited permitting available through TCEQ. The Waste Permits Division expedite the issuance of a RCRA hazardous waste permit to Expal USA, Inc. These efforts, combined with Expal’s motivation, TexAmericas Center's existing relationship with TCEQ, and the efforts of the Governor's office of Economic Development & Tourism allowed the permit to be issued a remarkable four months ahead of schedule. #TCEQ staff issued a protective permit while helping establish a new business in #Texas that provides both economic and environmental benefits. #SpeedToOccupancy #casestudy #gotxk #economicdevelopment #siteselection Texas Commission on Environmental Quality #industrialdevelopment #texarkana #texasrealestate #DOD #expeditedpermitting #defense Super Dave Quinn, CEcD 👊Jane Witowich Audrey Moon #defense #DOD #foreigndirectinvestment #industrialpark #innovation #investment #TimeIsMoney #incentives
