Innovating Policy For Chesapeake Bay Restoration Event March 29
|
|
On March 29 the Penn State Environment and Natural Resources Institute and other sponsors will host a one-day Innovating Policy for Chesapeake Bay Restoration Conference in Cambridge, MD.
The purpose of this one-day conference is to foster innovative thinking on the suite of federal and state policies needed to reduce water pollution in the Chesapeake Bay.
Presenters will examine shortcomings of existing policy approaches and highlight opportunities for correcting those deficiencies from economic, political, legal, ecological, and policy perspectives.
The conference will also examine issues related to the pace and magnitude of the nutrient and sediment reductions, efficient and fair allocations of load reductions between states, the structure of interstate agreements, ecological and economic uncertainty, and adaptive management.
The presenters are leading economic, scientific, and policy authorities on water quality policy from academia, government agencies, and nonprofits. Conference participants will be encouraged to engage in discussion.
A limited number of poster presentations are being accepted for review until March 1.
The conference is made possible through the generous support of the following sponsors: USDA ERS, Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, Farm Foundation, and Penn State Environment and Natural Resources Institute.
