quote:

In Louisiana, however, courts have ruled that landowners may claim even the tidal waters adjacent to their marshes. That's because of the outfall of a case that didn't even originate in Louisiana.

In Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Mississippi, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-3 decision that ownership of lands subject to the Public Trust Doctrine includes all tidal lands. In Louisiana, the Public Trust Doctrine states that "Louisiana claims the beds and bottoms of all navigable waters and the banks or shores of bays, arms of the sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and navigable lakes and declares the state's policy to be that these lands and water bottoms are public lands and shall be protected, administered, and conserved to best ensure full public navigation, fishery, recreation, and other interests."

Haven't read this yet, but has CCA been mentioned yet?

ETA: Yep and I love the pic they used, a yeti with a CCA logo, this board may implode.

We own water, but that's a bit of a different circumstance since a dam that was built put a bunch of our land under water. I can see where in man made situations you can own water, but natural ways is a bit touchier subject.

wonder if cca is behind this. trying to protect their big monied interests so they can keep having their big parties and ripping off the common fishermen with their fantasies of winning a truck or a boat.

The problem is that the "land owners" are still paying taxes on this land so if I was paying taxes on it you can bet your arse I wouldn't want it to be open for public acess unless y'all wanna help pay the taxes
