A Special Session on Report Cards

Healthy Waterways report cardIAN, the Queensland Government Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, and Healthy Waterways are hosting a joint session on ecosystem health report cards. The session will highlight key advances in report card development, including: evaluation of pressure, state, and response status; social, economic, and environment indicators; and the importance of process in engagement of stakeholders. We will illustrate these advances through examining the Great Barrier Reef Report Card, Healthy Waterways Report Card for Southeast Queensland, and report cards for the Mississippi River, Willamette River, and a new Global Partnership between WWF and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
