On April 17th, at 12:30 ET, Earth Economics’ Glen Delaney and Carson Risner will present at the Network for Engineering with Nature’s Knowledge Series webinar. N-EWN supports the USACE’s commitment to the Principles, Requirements, and Guidelines for Federal Investments in Water Resources.
Earth Economics has been working with the Pacific Salmon Commission First Nations and Tribal Caucuses as they drafted a Memorandum of Understanding on salmon recovery. Caucus members reached out to Earth Economics based on earlier collaboration to document the Sociocultural Significance of Pacific Salmon to Tribes and First Nations.
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.
