On May 31st Bruce Gagnon host of the program “This Issue” on Brunswick’s Cable TV Channel 3 interviewed me about the book. The 30 minute back and forth can be viewed over the next month at a dozen mid-coast community access channels or by clicking the following link <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEhlxW9ihL0&feature=youtu.be> Bruce’s questions focused on why and whether Maine’s intertidal land law should be reexamined. My responses pointed out that the 1986 and 1989 Bell cases (following a 1647 Massachusetts Colonial Ordinance) erroneously ceded title to all of Maine’s intertidal land to adjacent upland owners; I noted that the full range of court errors are laid out in the book; I concluded by noting that U.S. Supreme Court case law suggests that these errors can be corrected.
