Massey, Karen. United States Regulation of Domestic Tidal Power Development (Working Paper 7). Marine Law Institute. May 1984. 32 pp.

This paper is one of twelve working papers prepared for a study of the international environmental risks of large-scale coastal energy developments in the Gulf of Maine - Bay of Fundy region. The study was conducted by a team of investigators from the University of Southern Maine, the University of New Hampshire, and Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Support for the project was provided by the William H. Donner Foundation, Inc. of New York, NY and the Max Bell Foundation of Toronto, Canada. The purpose of this paper is to survey the federal legislation that would be applicable to the development of a tidal power project in the United States, for purposes of comparison with the Canadian licensing and environmental evaluation processes discussed in a companion paper.
