Water Resources, the Public Trust doctrine and Racanelli The Public Trust Doctrine has persisted in European, English and American law but has its roots back in Roman times. The Institutes of Justinian in the Sixth Century A.D. stated: “by the law of nature these things are common to mankind —-the air, running water, the sea and consequently the shores of the sea.” These resources, associated uses and ecological values are therefore held in trust by governments for the people. The Public Trust Doctrine makes government agencies the trustee of our water, fish and wildlife resources, associated uses, and ecological values and other assets of significant public use and value. This trusteeship is for the benefit of people. Protecting the sustainability of the people’s property associated uses and values is a duty and a moral obligation at all levels of government.

The Akaka Bill Advances, Accountability for Our Actions, Public Trust Doctrine, Implementing the Precautionary Principle A new version of the Akaka bill (“Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2009”) was introduced on May 7th, and a hearing on the bill was held before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee on August 6th. The Senate bill, S1011, introduced by Senators Akaka and Inouye, seeks a measure of accountability for the US overthrown of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. [...]
The proposed Akaka bill is and should be about accountability for actions taken against the Hawaiian people. However we must all, Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike be accountable for our actions today. We must be accountable to each other promoting aloha and understanding and above all advancing a culture of malama the aina– and together protect this island from the mountains to the coastal waters.
In doing so we should implement the State Constitution’s recognition of the government’s public trust responsibility to care for our land and water resources.
A key function of the public trust obligation is that all government decision-making should be based on the Precautionary Principle. The Precautionary Principle requires that when there is uncertainty about the potential impact of a policy or action, the decision must be in favor of conservation of the resource. Take for example the question of allowing the use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Given the uncertainty of this science and it long-term unforeseeable impacts the precautionary principle mandates prohibiting the use of GMOs on this island. Therefore I hope we can come together as one people –fellow stewards of this island - and work together against the use of GMOs here. [...]
The "Public Trust Doctrine" as set forth in the Hawaii Consitution provides as follows: "For the benefit of present and future generations, the State and its political subdivisions shall conserve and protect Hawaii's natural beauty and all natural resources, including land, water, air, minerals and energy sources, and shall promote the development and utilization of these resources in a manner consistent with their conservation and in furtherance of the self-sufficiency of the State. All public natural resources are held in trust by the State for the benefit of the people." http://www.margaretwille.com/home/?q=node/190
