The Seaweed Rebellion: Federal-State Conflicts Over Offshore Energy Development

by Edward A. Fitzgerald

The Seaweed Rebellion: Federal-State Conflicts Over Offshore Energy Development Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This study examines the role of the courts in the public policy process by analyzing the federal-state conflicts over offshore energy development - known as the seaweed rebellion - from the Roosevelt through Clinton administrations. The author posits that the courts play an important role in interpreting statutes and overseeing administrative actions to ensure "that important leglisative purposes, heralded in the halls of Congress, are not lost or misdirected in the vast hallways of the federal bureaucracy." He concludes that the court's interpretations and deference towards executive decisions undermined the important statutory role of the coastal states, decreased environment protection, and has caused a breakdown in the programme of outer continental shelf energy development.
