Restoring the Duckabush Estuary
Restoring the Duckabush Estuary

In December, WDFW signed a partnership agreement with the USACE, establishing cost-sharing and implementation responsibilities for restoring the Duckabush Estuary. In 2023, we estimated the total value of the ecosystems protected and restored at $249.6M over 100 years, generating 449 local jobs. Restoring connectivity in the estuary will support an 400,000 additional salmon.

BETTER DECISIONS, NATURALLY.

We all rely on services provided by nature, often in ways we don’t fully recognize. Earth Economics identifies and quantifies those benefits to ensure they are included in the decision-making process at all levels, so communities can mitigate risk, increase resilience, and protect their natural capital wealth.

Our Mission

We quantify and value the benefits nature provides to people, communities, and organizations, fostering effective decisions that prioritize the wellbeing of people and nature.

Our Vision

We envision a future where the wellbeing of people and the natural world are central to all economic decision making.
