Ahoy! Are you curious about the difference between a Letter of Marque and a Letter of Reprisal? Between a “pirate” and a “privateer?” Want to find out more about maritime security?
If so, then I have just the place where you can find out about those topics, and more: my Damon Key colleague Mark Murakami has launched hawaiioceanlaw.com, his blog with his “thoughts, opinions, insights and observations about matters of maritime concern in and around Hawaii.” Pay a visit and see the range of topics he will cover. First topic: “Securing the Superferry – Security Zone Upheld.”
Mark practices more than just maritime and ocean law (in July, we wrapped up a five week eminent domain trial for example), but given his background as a Coast Guard line officer and JAG, his blog posts about maritime and ocean law should be especially worthy reading.
