BRUNSWICK — Author and law professor Orlando E. Delogu will speak about public access to Maine’s beaches on Sept. 24, at 6:30 p.m., at the Curtis Memorial Library. Delogu advocates for a re-examination of the court cases that ceded title to Maine’s intertidal lands to upland owners and limited public use of these lands to fishing, fowling and navigation.
Delogu, one of the founders of the Maine Civil Liberties Union, has taught at Maine Law for over 50 years. He served for five years on Maine’s Board of Environmental Protection, was a Portland City Councilor, served on the Portland Planning Board, and chaired the Association of American Law Schools’ Environmental Law Section.
A question and answer session will follow his presentation and copies of his book “Maine’s Beaches are Public Property” will be available for purchase and signing. For more information call (207) 725-5242, or visit curtislibrary.com.
