Final Report on Maryland’s Ecosystem Markets
Posted on October 22nd, 2011
As a member of the Governor’s Ecosystem Services Working Group, Restore Capital helped to develop the new report that describes and analyzes the current market-based environmental programs in Maryland. Restore Capital was asked to help formulate how private capital and markets can be brought to bear on resolving Maryland’s environmental needs especially within the Chesapeake region.
The report finds that Maryland is not fully recovering the value of ecosystem services being lost and suggests improvements for each program identified.
The report concludes that Maryland should:
“Wherever practicable, use the marketplace as a mechanism for offsetting adverse impacts to ecosystem services. Ecosystem markets can offer a more cost-effective means of mitigating development impacts while reducing government expenditures on regulatory programs. Markets also incentivize restoration and protection of natural resources by providing an opportunity for private investors to generate credits by restoring degraded ecosystems and selling those credits to developers at a later date.”
