Description:In February 2010, the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program and project partners Florida Sea Grant, Louisiana Sea Grant Law and Policy Program, Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, and Texas Wesleyan School of Law launched a new legal research and outreach program on the impact of the "regulatory takings" doctrine on the ability of local governments to implement sea level rise adaptation policies. This work was funded by the Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant Programs, the EPA Gulf of Mexico Office, the Northern Gulf Institute, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The Project Team focused on five primary research areas: The impact of notice provisions on the "reasonable investment-backed expectations" of coastal property owners; Conditional approvals of development proposals or "proposed exactions"; Continued feasibility of "rolling easements" as an adaptation response; Shoreline regulation; and Liability of local governments for failing to act.
