Wither the Waterfront: Does the United States Need Federal Legislation to Preserve Working Waterfronts?
This article reviews legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives during four consecutive Congresses concerning the issues faced by working waterfronts. The objective of this article is to examine two working waterfronts bills, together with relevant testimony before two House subcommittee hearings, and to assess whether the proposed legislation is redundant to the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) and whether federal-level legislation is appropriate for addressing the identified issues. Contained in three sections the article provides: (1) an assessment of the challenges facing working waterfronts, (2) a description of the federal legislation proposed to address the issues, and (3) an analysis of whether the CZMA already provides the legislative authority to take needed actions. The article concludes with a discussion of how to address working waterfront issues within the context of the federal system of government.
