As society debates the choices between development and preservation, between conservation and use of natural resources, what often escapes us is that our environment with its natural resources is part of the economy, not apart from it; that every decision we make that degrades or weakens our natural resources harms the economy. Dr. Kildow will explain this new reality through examples drawn from information and understanding coming from The National Ocean Economics Project which she directs at CSUMB.
