Who owns Nova Scotia's coastline? Perhaps a better question, who controls access to it? In Episode 1, we speak with East Coast Environmental Law's Mike Kofahl and Dalhousie University law student Samuel Eisner about the complicated jurisdiction of access and control that shapes Nova Scotia's coastlines.
In this episode, we discuss a number of acts and court cases, including:
Land Surveyors Act
Beaches Act
Trails Act
Angling Act
Community Easements Act
Occupiers Liability Act
Lynn v. Nova Scotia
Halifax Regional Municipality v. Rhyno
