To maintain and hopefully enhance the appeal and quality of its area’s natural resources, the city council has decided that it needs to enact protective laws to help ensure its future tourism success. What specific laws and regulations might these be? Natural Resources are described in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 C.F.R.). The C.F.R. defines natural resources as encompassing land, fish, wildlife, plants, air, water, and other such resources belonging to, managed by, held in trust by, appertaining to, or otherwise controlled by the United States, any State or local government, or any foreign government. Natural Resource laws protect such areas as national parks and beaches, endangered species, and rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. Natural resource laws are to thank for the preservation of such national treasures as Yosemite National Park, the Grand Canyon, and Niagara Falls. Natural resource laws also prohibit activities that would damage the natural environment. Examples include laws pertaining to drilling for petroleum, mining operations, damming rivers, and preventing or allowing certain forest fires.
