• Agenda '09 for a Better Wisconsin Uwm More Uses for Lakefront Than Play and Recreation a Uwm School of Freshwater Sciences On Lakefront Property Just Makes Sense and Does Not Violate the State's Public Trust Doctrine. Greenery Is Fine, but so Is Research Benefitting All.

The title to any tidelands property sold into private ownership is similarly burdened; a private tidelands owner may not utilize property in a way that would compromise the state's jus publicum interest and public rights protected thereby. This Comment argues that Washington's public trust doctrine...
