Public Trust DoctrineBy the law of nature these things are common to allmankind the air, running water, the sea andconsequently shores of the sea.Book II Institutes of Justinian 550 AD
Public Trust DoctrineThis is 2000 year old law that is the guiding principle behind public access to thewaterfront; the shores of the sea are to be preserved for public use andgovernment is required to maintain that use. The doctrine passed into medievalEnglish Common Law where it was held to be an “inalienable” right whichprevented the transfer of waterside property by the crown to private ownership.(Urban Harbors Institute of University of Massachusetts).The doctrine was accepted as common law by the 13 original U.S. colonies andentered United States common law in 1892.The New Jersey laws were challenged and upheld by the NJ Supreme Court(Matthews v. Bay Head Improvement Association 1984) and most recently by theFederal District Court in a challenge from the National and New JerseyAssociations of Homebuilders 1999. The Public Trust Doctrine was the basicrationale put forward in upholding these laws.
