Offshore Drilling
"During the last legislative session, anonymous oil
representatives told Florida's legislators that offshore drilling could be
done 3 - 10 miles offshore without harming Florida's environment,
tourism or the economy.
The fact is Florida's economy is based on having clean beaches and a
healthy environment, not oil refineries, storage tanks, oil platforms and
pipelines. The fact is hurricanes happen and oil spills happen, the fact is
using the most modern and best available technologies oil spills still
happen, and the fact is oil refineries require tremendous amount of
water and will compete directly with existing industries and jobs that are
dependent on a limited supply of water."

Sand and The Supreme Court - A Note from our Director
The United States Supreme Court has decided to hear a case involving a proposed beach reclamation project in Florida that affected coastal property owners claim will place a wide swath of public sand between them and the Gulf of Mexico depriving them of their waterfront property rights. The state Supreme Court of Florida had upheld the state project stating that “Florida has a constitutional duty to protect its beaches”. The plaintiffs claim “the intent is a land grab by local government to create a public beach where a private beach previously existed”.
Let’s hope the state prevails in this one. Private ownership of coastal property should not include beaches which should be considered part of the public domain. Because of the state’s rights principle the public trust doctrine is inconsistent throughout the nation even though the public pays for both maintenance of present shorelines and past mistakes that have created erosion or taken access away from the public.
