INCIDENTAL RIGHT [7 records]

Record 1 2020-05-01

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Bird Watching (Hobbies)
CONT

Incidental observations are casual wildlife sightings that happen when you’re outside – hiking, camping, swimming, driving, etc. Spotting a species in the "right place at the right time" can have a far-reaching effect. Knowing what species are present in different locations helps identify areas that are important(e. g. breeding sites, hibernation sites, migration routes, etc.), which also helps to improve conservation efforts.

CONT

Chance observations provided the earliest data on raptor diet, and are still recorded today. These are the events all naturalists happen to see, such as a flying buzzard with an especially long snake dangling limply below it ... There was no forethought to go and record what buzzards were eating, but having seen something exciting the observer may want to record it in a local bird report or online. Why should a modern scientist bother with such unsystematic data when trying to make an assessment of buzzard diet? ... while such chance observations can’t be used on their own to understand common buzzard behaviour, they do supplement the more rigorous data collection and help to complete the picture of diet diversity.

Consigner les observations fortuites d'animaux sauvages constitue un moyen peu coûteux et efficace de recueillir des renseignements sur les tendances à long terme de l'abondance et de la répartition des espèces sauvages. C'est également une activité à laquelle les visiteurs du parc peuvent participer et ainsi contribuer à la surveillance de l'intégrité écologique du parc. Dans le parc national des Monts-Torngat et ses environs, ces observations sont consignées sur des fiches dont les données sont saisies dans une base de données.

In the case of(navigable rivers) the public have a right to use the river for navigation similar to the right which they have to pass along a public highway through private land, and an artificial navigable river may be dedicated as a public highway, but the analogy between a navigable river and a public highway is not complete. In the case of the soil of navigable rivers there may be also public rights incidental to the right of navigation, such as fixing moorings and anchoring. As regards the right of access, it is settled that in general a riparian owner on a navigable river has, subject to the public right of navigation, the same right of access to the river as such an owner has on a non-navigable river.(Gale on Easements, 14th ed., 1972, p. 237).

  • International Public Law
CONT

As further examples of servitudes one may take the rights of access actually enjoyed with respect to enclaves. Three instances are available, those along the Dutch-Belgian frontier, those of Portugal in India, and West Berlin. The importance of tacit arrangements as creating rights is illustrated by the Rights of Passage case decided by the International Court of Justice with respect to the enclaves of Portugal in India which are separated from Goa. These were acquired by treaty in 1779, from a local Indian prince, whose successor in title, Great Britain, permitted access. Portugal relied on a local custom of access and also on general customary law concerning access. The Court upheld Portugal' s limited right of access as the outcome of "a practice clearly established between two States which was accepted by the Parties as governing the relations between them. "The right of access to Berlin is not completely guaranteed in the documents relating to Allied occupation of the city, but is alleged to be incidental to the right to be in Berlin.
