Abstract |
Legal doctrines governing the ownership and use of estuarine areas in Georgia and South Carolina are identified and analyzed. The law of each state is analyzed, first, from the standpoint of 'ownership' of land in each of the following categories or classifications: the foreshore of estuarine areas; beds of tidal waterways and beds of the marginal sea less than three geographical miles from a state 'coast line'; and secondly, as to the rights in waters in estuarine areas utilizing the following categories: foreshore waters, navigable and non-navigable streams, and marginal seawaters within the three geographical mile limit.
