Talk:Guano Islands Act/Archive 1

Full list?????
Is there anywhere, or anyone that can provide a full list of areas claimed under this act. As there were no provisions under the Act to clarify the status of these lands after guano was exhausted, it would be interesting to find out a full list as to ascertain who has sovereignty de jure or de facto (de jure, if the U.S has signed a treaty with any other Nation). RAYMI

This list is not on the internet, but it is definitely still kept by the government.

Revision: this list has been complied and I will write it on the site as soon as I can. When it goes up, it will be the first complete list of these islands anywhere on the internet.

Status
What is the status of this act? Is it still taken seriously by anyone in the US or elsewhere? For example Wikipedia says Fox Island, Quebec is claimed by the Guano Act. Surely this is an archaic law that can be ignored?? Imagine having a diplomatic incident over bird Pendragon39 14:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I wondered about this too; I mean, suppose if in the future we find guano on some foreign planet (like Mars)... could the Guano Island Acts STILL be used to invoke American sovereignty over a specific land with said deposits? It sure would make for one interesting sci-fi story, to see all these old acts still used. -- 66.92.0.62 (talk) 08:03, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
