Description:

This course surveys the regulatory processes employed by the major federal environmental management agencies (BLM, EPA, NPS, USFS, USFWS), and their counterparts in various states, but particularly in Maine. Students learn how interest groups, citizens, and the courts influence the management of environmental and land resource problems. Wildlife, land management, and pollution regulations are first surveyed and then more deeply examined using case studies of important statutes such as the Endangered Species Act, the various land management acts, or the National Environmental Protection Act and its subsidiary laws.
