Stop the Beach Renourishment v Florida Dept: Environment

Check out the case of Stop the Beach Renourishment Inc. v. Florida Dept. of the Environment, 998 So. 2d 1102 ( Fl. 2008).

This new stretch of beach would then be publicly accessible. Six property owners, calling themselves Stop the Beach Renourishment Inc., claimed their deeds entitled them to the waterfront, and that members of the public should not be permitted to use the additional space. Look at the difference in how the court ruled in this case? Was this a regulatory taking or a taking which required compensation?
