1:05pm-1:25pm	PANELISTS: Michael Curley Patti Cale-Finnegan View PDF Laura Walker This session presents a variety of examples of successful, multi-million dollar funding for watershed protection focusing on state revolving funds and water utilities. A key goal of this session is to provide practical guidance on how to employ these strategies in your own environment. The need for financing for large-scale watershed protection is acute, as climate change, development, and other threats adversely affect watershed health. New approaches for financing are developing that can be used in many places and situations. A key challenge to scaling these approaches is sharing success stories and helping interested groups better understand how these options may be applied to their situation.

1:20pm-1:40pm	PANELISTS: Joe Nicolette Tom Campbell Larry Johnson Victoria Todd Mark Rockel The question as to the value of offshore oil and gas platforms and subsea infrastructure to provide ecosystem services is of increasing importance. Recent fisheries and marine mammal data indicate that offshore structures can create significant ecological productivity above natural reef systems and support a variety of marine mammal populations. This session will focus on applying net environmental benefit analysis (NEBA) approach to evaluate options for offshore decommissioning by applying scientific data to case studies. Discussion/Q&A	PANELISTS: Dixon Landers View PDF Dawn Olson View PDF Hilary Swain View PDF Steve Traxler View PDF Charlie Walthall View PDF This panel presents perspectives from some leading research agencies envisioning the future of agricultural landscapes of the southeastern USA. Panelists will discuss current research activities and knowledge gaps related to agricultural ecosystem services. They will address questions about designing and creating agricultural landscapes of the future that will enhance, on the one hand, crop and livestock yields that have long supported human populations, and on the other hand, ecosystem services that are critical to the long-term resilience of the region.

Discussion/Q&A	PANELISTS: Seth Brown View PDF Brian Van Wye View PDF Laura Kimes View PDF Claudio Ternieden View PDF This panel will explore a variety of approaches to scaling green infrastructure for stormwater management. Green infrastructure can be highly cost effective, and it provides a suite of ecosystem services that can address multiple priorities for city planners. To date, few cities are implementing green infrastructure at a broad scale. This session will address: driving down costs through strategic implementation; creative business models that leverage multiple funding streams; unique partnerships and finance mechanisms that connect project developers with impact investors; and integrative approaches to build broad support within and outside of local agencies.
