United States Supreme Court
Stop the Beach Renourishment, Inc. v. Fla. Dept. of Env. Protection, Inc., 08-1151
In an action challenging the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's approval of permits to restore a portion of beach eroded by several hurricanes, the Florida Supreme Court's holding that the approval of the permits did not unconstitutionally deprive plaintiffs of littoral rights without just compensation is affirmed where there could be no taking unless petitioner could show that, before the Florida Supreme Court's decision, littoral property owners had rights to future accretions and to contact with the water superior to the State's right to fill in its submerged land.
