Nutrient Trading and the Implications on Mid-Atlantic Waters

March 22, 2007
Frederick, MD

While water quality credit trading can produce economic and water quality benefits, it may not be the best solution in every watershed. Designing trading programs to achieve desired outcomes and ensuring that they accurately measure those outcomes is a key to successful implementation. This workshop will introduce the audience to the theory of water quality credit trading, its goals, and the implications of putting trading into practice on Mid-Atlantic waters. Presentations will also provide updates on efforts to develop trading programs in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and suggest the neccessary steps to make these programs successful.
