WHO OWNS PART OF THE OCEAN AND OTHER WATER FRONTS?

[+] ballot by larrynelmira
created Thu Dec 14, 06
Do you think it’s right for hotels and property owners to put those fences out into the ocean or lakes behind their home or hotel ?

Do you know what I’m talking about? For example, you are walking along the beach and you get to fence, you either have to swim many many feet out into the ocean or lake , or go in front of the buildings to get around it.

Who owns the beach and part of the water, and if its the property owner, should they ?

I don't know
No private person or business should own the ocean
sure, let them own as far out into the water as they want
They shouldn't but they do
It should be allowed, with restrictions.

I believe there already is some kind of standard saying how far out oceanfront property extends into the ocean.

It dosen't seem right that a person or business can claim part of the ocean as their own .IMO

Voted : I don't know
I thought it was done to prevent access onto private property.

It seems reasonable that one may own a portion of the ocean in front of ones property.

What Nate said.

The laws concerning waterfront ownership varies from place to place.

In some places it's so strict that you can't sit on your own property and fish from it into the water without having a fishing license.

I always thought the coasts should be two large public parks, but people pay lots of money to hog it.

^What Skylab said.

Some idiot rightwingers seem to think that it is reasonable that the average person should have to buy the air they breathe from a multinational corporation.

They are, of course, often the same idiots that want to do away with virtually all government because government limits freedom.

by cranky on Thu Dec 14, 06 4:32pm [+]

^The things you believe liberals believe are even more idiotic than your own beliefs.

You should own the atmosphere in the immediate vicinity of your home as well. But you say, it's a fluid and changes by the minute. Well, then you have the right to sue multinational corporations when they pollute it.
