Chesapeake Bay Policy and Economics Technical Support
Drs. Doug Lipton and Doug Parker are the PI’s. Funding is $156,320 through an MOU with Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Coastal Program. Project duration is January 1, 2009 – December 31, 2010. The purpose of this project is to facilitate greater interaction and collaboration between these institutions to ensure that investments in Chesapeake Bay and other coastal area restoration are based on the best available science and are performed efficiently and effectively.
This MOU provides a framework under which the two organizations can come together on an annual basis to determine how to best invest available resources to achieve common goals. This initial agreement contains three related projects: 1) The establishment of 2 Regional Watershed Restoration Specialists; 2) Support of 2 graduate students for economic analysis of benefits and costs of non-point source pollution reduction; and, 3) Support for technical analysis of best management practices (BMP) implementation for non-point source pollution reduction. These projects are linked in that the Regional Watershed Restoration Specialists are responsible for coordinating on-the-ground implementation of non-point source pollution reduction activities, restoration by evaluating emerging science, management tools and practices (models, policies, etc.), and assisting in their development and implementation.
