Thursday, Sept. 15 @ 3:30 pm - Baker Center Interdisciplinary Group on Energy 
and Environmental Policy - Dr. Jim Sanchirico (Univ. CA, Davis) presents "The 
Role of Bioeconomic Modeling in the Design and Analysis of Ecosystem Based 
Management Policies."

A scientific consensus is developing on the need to transform marine and 
coastal management to a more holistic ecosystem-based approach.   The 
presentation will investigate the economic and ecological gains from expanding 
the scope of management objectives in two related systems.

This forum is an opportunity for academics to share their research findings to a 
broad set of academics, researchers, and students from outside their own 
discipline but who have a common interest in environmental and energy issues.
