Professor Olivier Moréteau was Professor Michel Séjean’s special guest at an international and interdisciplinary symposium on The Sea and the Seashore as Commons (Mer et littoral : un bien commun?), organized by the University of South Brittany in Lorient and Vannes, 17-18 June, 2019. In Lorient, he presented on Who Defines the Commons? Who is Liable and to Whom? Ethical and Legal Perspectives (in French). The next day in Vannes, he discussed Louisiana and Global Perspectives on the Ecology of Law (also in French).
In order to strengthen and showcase its maritime identity, the University of South Brittany (UBS) has created the Citizen Institute for Maritime and Coastal Studies, named ARCHIPEL, to serve both its community and territory and, more widely, the Sea and the Littoral. The seminar The Sea and the Seashore as Commons, from 17 to 19 June 2019, was the ARCHIPEL’s first international scientific event. Efforts will be made to intensify links with LSU Law and LSU Coastal Studies.
