The MASGLP Web Site is Sporting a New Look

The Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program has been on the World Wide Web since 1998. In January 2001, the web site was completely re-designed adding enhanced accessibility and many new features.

One notable addition is the “Coastal News” page, offering current news articles on topics that impact the coasts. The page includes an “archive” feature, allowing users to access articles from prior weeks and months. Another notable feature is the Research and Publications page, providing access to both current and past research projects and a variety of publications. Arranged by topic, the Research and Publications page is user-friendly and provides links to many relevant publications on marine law and policy, with just the click of the mouse.

One of the most popular features continues to be the availability of current and back issues of the Water Log Legal Reporter for readers who want an on-line source for a variety of ocean and coastal legal issues. Coming soon to the web site is the Fisheries Management page offering a one-stop location for updates on federal fisheries management policy and law, including analysis of current fisheries statutes, case law and regulations.

The web site provides an About Us page with an introduction to the Mississippi- Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program staff and a description of our Sea Grant partners. As always the web site is a rich resource for links to other web sites that offer information on marine affairs and policy issues.

Please visit our new and improved web site at: www.olemiss.edu/orgs/masglp and give us your comments and suggestions for making the web site your first stop for ocean and coastal policy information.
