bay actually is.

Strong work! I’m glad you got to experience the Bay first hand like this. I’m hoping that the efforts there will translate into cleanup in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basin.

This was positive expression from the hearts and minds of unknowingly individuals combining knowledge with experience. O.k. now take a good bath and keep up the dirty work.

work, but from an economics viewpoint, I wonder what set of incentives
appealing to people’s short term and long term interests could work to
reduce pollution in the bay and other watersheds. Since appealing to
people’s self interest is probably what will do the trick (and probably
it would be a combination of positive and negative incentives).

For example, one point to note is the comment on suburban sprawl. Why do people want to move to areas near the watershed that threaten it? Or to phrase it in a different way, what is driving them to choose those areas over others? Cost of living? Better commute despite traffic? Knowing what drives that behavior would help in designing incentives to both protect the watershed and meet the needs of people who are considering living in the area.

Our mission is to protect human health and the environment — essentially, our human and natural resources. How do we do it? By building leaders at all levels of the Agency and actively partnering with other organizations at all levels of governance and business. Thanks for the vote of confidence! I’m glad to hear that our Expedition is already serving as a useful model.
