Blog Post: U.S. Supreme Court Rules in Blackbeard Shipwreck Copyright Case In 1996, Intersal, Inc., a marine salvage company, discovered Blackbeard’s sunken pirate ship off the coast of North Carolina. Blackbeard had seized the French slave ship in 1717, renaming it the Queen Anne’s Revenge. He navigated the vessel through the Caribbean and up the North American coast. The vessel’s tenure as a pirate ship was cut short in 1718 when Blackbeard ran it aground on a sandbar off the coast of Beaufort, North Carolina. Under state and federal law, the wreck belongs to the state. The state contracted with Intersal to recover the shipwreck. Intersal contracted with Allen to document the operation. Allen made videos and photos of the recovery efforts, registering copyrights for his works.

National Sea Grant Law Center awarded over $300k to lead 2 major aquaculture projects, partner on 1 more The National Sea Grant Program recently awarded $16 million for 42 research projects nationwide for collaborative aquaculture projects. The National Sea Grant Law Center (NSGLC) will lead two of the new aquaculture initiatives and contribute to one additional project aimed at advancing sustainable aquaculture in the United States. The 42 projects were chosen from among 136 proposals requesting more than $52 million in federal funds. The awards require a 50 percent match of non-federal funds.
The U.S. imports 85 percent of its seafood, leading to a $14 billion trade deficit. To meet growing consumer demand for seafood, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its Sea Grant partners aim to develop the growth of U.S. aquaculture in properly regulated and sustainable ways.
