Implementation Advances and Challenges

MOLLY MACAULEY June 10, 1957 – July 8, 2016

Molly Macauley, one of the few economists specializing in satellites and the space program generally, was murdered on July 8 while walking her dogs near her home in Baltimore, MD. She was 59.

Molly Macauley was a valued member of the ACES community. She was part of the space policy community for decades and renowned for her expertise on the economics of satellites, especially in the earth observation arena. Her professional portfolio was much broader, however, including the use of economic incentives in environmental regulation, climate and earth science, and recycling and solid waste management. She testified before Congress many times and was the author of more than 80 journal articles, books, and book chapters.

She was Vice President for Research and a Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future, a Washington based think tank that focuses on the economics of natural resources. She was a past member of the Space Studies Board (SSB) and of the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (ASEB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine and served on many of its study committees. She was a member of the steering committee for the ongoing Decadal Survey for Earth Science and Applications from Space at the time of her death.

Macauley received her B.A. in economics from the College of William and Mary in 1979, and a Master’s and Ph.D. in economics from Johns Hopkins University in 1981 and 1983 respectively. In addition to her work at RFF, she was an Adjunct Professor of economics at Johns Hopkins. Molly will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Welcome to ACES 2016!On behalf of A Community on Ecosystem Services (ACES) and our partners in Ecosystem Markets and the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP), we welcome you to the ACES 2016 Conference! We have organized an assortment of workshops, plenary sessions, presentations, and field tours - but hope that you find ACES to be more than a series of meetings and presentations. Instead, as information is being shared, please make a concentrated effort to ‘step out of your silo’ or ‘move away from your comfort zone’ and attend presentations and participate in sessions you might not normally select. We are confident that if you do so, you will gain important understanding and interact with valuable new contacts to help further the discussion on, and science of, ecosystem services.

The ACES 2016 conference features a focus on implementation advances and challenges, a track on conservation finance, and sessions addressing a broad range of topics, methods, and practices such as human well-being, monetary and non-monetary valuation, urban ecosystem services, the impacts of climate change on terrestrial and coastal ecosystems and services, and the role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Also of note will be presentations and posters from around the world including developing countries. There will be nearly 500 participants at ACES 2016 from 24 nations, including leaders from all levels of government, NGO’s, non-profits, academia, and the private sector.

We wish to thank the supporting and partnering organizations and the Planning, Program, and Steering Committee members for their exceptional efforts to make ACES 2016 a success. Their insights and support are greatly appreciated, and this conference could not have happened without them. In particular, we are grateful for the continued outstanding efforts of the staff of the University of Florida, IFAS Office of Conferences and Institutes in organizing the logistics and making this conference possible, and the strong leadership of Kristin Zupancic and Jasmine Garcia in this endeavor.

We anticipate that ACES 2016 will provide many opportunities to share science advances and state-of-the-art practices and continue the dialogue and information sharing within the ecosystem services community. As the week proceeds, remember to attend sessions that are outside of your field, and be sure to network, meet old friends, make new friends, and establish new interdisciplinary relationships.

Thank you for attending ACES 2016!

Moderators: Leigh Whelpton, The Conservation Finance Network and Eric Hallstein, The Nature Conservancy Designed for ACES attendees not having specialized finance expertise, this interactive town hall discussion, come explore key concepts and emerging trends in conservation finance. Our goal is to build a shared understanding of where science and finance collide, and to highlight the sorts of conservation opportunities that may be appropriate for private sector funding. The session will offer practical advice on how conservationists and scientists may effectively engage with investors.

1:00pm-2:45pm | Successful Financing of Large-Scale Watershed Protection and RestorationOrganizer: Peter Stangel, U.S. Endowment for Forestry & Communities, Inc.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.

3:15pm-5:00pm | Financing Watershed Protection: New Horizons Organizer: Jeff Lerner, American ForestsThis session focuses on exciting, new approaches for financing watershed protection and restoration. While these approaches may still be developing, they offer innovative approaches that can help diversify and grow financing opportunities for watershed protection.

5:15pm-6:45pm | Town Hall: Where are the Markets? Where is the Money? How to Spend ItModerators: Patrick Coady, Seale & Associates, Inc., Jessica Fox, Electric Power Research Institute and Kaola Swanson, The Freshwater TrustWhat does it take to mobilize significant dollars for ecosystem projects? Extensive effort has been invested is developing ecosystem markets over a long period of time. This Town Hall will examine what comprises ecosystem markets, their estimated size and project implementation from a financial point of view. It will assess the current situation with wetlands, stream restoration, species and water quality market as well as emerging markets. It will pose the question, “If you were given a check for, say $100 million, how would you invest it”

Methods for Incorporating Ecosystem Services into Decision-Making: From Benefit Relevant Indicators to Monetary Values

8:30am – 12:00pm | Grand Ballroom 1 Lunch Break: 1:30pm – 5:00pm

Organizer & SPEAKERS

Lydia Olander, PhD (Organizer), Director of Ecosystem Services Program and National Ecosystem Services Partnership at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and Adjunct Associate Professor at the Nicholas School of the Environment Lisa Wainger, Research Professor, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Robert Johnston, Director, George Perkins Marsh Institute and Professor of Economics, Clark University

Description

The purpose of this workshop is to delve into the ecosystem services assessment methods reviewed in the Federal Resource Management and Ecosystem Services (FRMES) Guidebook (https://nespguidebook.com). The presentations will provide detailed explanations of these methods and examples of how they are used, to help build a common understanding of what it means to incorporate ecosystem services into decision making. This workshop provides an opportunity for the broader community to explore ecosystem service quantification and valuation methods in more depth with experts, using participant exercises to enhance the discussion and shared learning experience. Integrated question and answer sessions will provide opportunities to engage participating experts on topics related to the application of these methods to various policy contexts. We ran a similar workshop at the 2014 ACES conference where we had approximately 80 participants from a wide range of institutions, such as federal agencies, consultants, and NGOs. We received great feedback from the community on the value of this type of general introductory training and the alignment with the online guidebook. Thus we hope to bring it to a new audiences at ACES 2016, including updated methods and topics not included in the original 2014 workshop.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience is quite broad as we hope to engage all actors that could potentially be involved in moving forward one of the many tasks necessary to advance the use of ecosystem services in decision making in the US and abroad. This would involve government actors, environmental NGOs, landowners, lawyers, environmental practitioners, foundations, academics, bridging institutions and many more. This workshop could be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the methods better, but may be particularly relevant to those who will be hiring experts to integrate ecosystem services into their projects or programs, or those who will begin doing such assessments themselves. It will be of less interest to experts who already use these methods.

MORNING WorkshopS


Hands-On Ecosystem Services: Interactive Training of the ESII (Ecosystem Services Identification & Inventory) Tool

8:30am – 12:00pm | Grand Ballroom 2

Organizers & SPEAKERS

Morgan Erhardt (Primary Contact), Consultant, EcoMetrix Solutions GroupKevin Halsey, Senior Consultant, EcoMetrix Solutions GroupJennifer Molnar, Managing Director and Lead Scientist, The Nature Conservancy

Description

This interactive, half-day training, delivered by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), The Dow Chemical Company, and EcoMetrix Solutions Group, will introduce participants to the ESII Tool. The ESII Tool (pronounced “easy”), was developed in collaboration by Dow, TNC, and EcoMetrix Solutions Group, and is owned by TNC. ESII is a free assessment tool that provides information that can lead to better decisions and better conservation outcomes. It fills an important gap between simple tools built upon limited scientific information and complex tools that require expert users. Designed for natural resources managers, engineers, business managers, and ecologists alike, the tool can be used in the early stages of decision making to identify benefits provided by natural assets so that their value can be incorporated into operational and planning decisions. The ESII Tool can be used in site planning, impact assessments, cost/benefit analyses, or to compare alternatives. Outputs from the tool can be used directly in financial analyses or engineering models. The tool consists of the iOS-based Field App, used to collect ecological information on site, and the web-based Project Workspace, where projects are set up, data is reviewed, and outputs are generated. Using a real-world example on-site at the Hyatt, participants will learn how to use the primary components of the tool— the ESII Project Workspace and the ESII Field App. The workshop will first introduce the ESII Project Workspace and outline the data collection effort. Next, in small groups participants will collect physical attribute data using the ESII Field App. The final step will involve reviewing collected data and then generating results.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This workshop is relevant for individuals and organizations interested in identifying and assessing ecosystem services on a given site quickly and inexpensively. These may be planners, engineers, facilities managers, and natural resource managers interested in using decision-support tools for a wide range of activities including: assessing site designs and alternatives; assisting with restoration projects; creating an inventory of natural assets; scoping impact assessments, comparing green vs. gray infrastructure; and supporting dialogue and engagement with local communities. The ability to conduct ecosystem service evaluations quickly and inexpensively is critical for any enterprise or municipality that wishes to incorporate the value of nature into their operations and decision making.

National Biodiversity Metrics & Mapping Workshop



Bill Kepner (Organizer), Research Ecologist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development Las Vegas, NVKen Boykin, Research Associate Professor, New Mexico State University, Center for Applied Spatial Ecology Las Cruces, NMAnne Neale, EnviroAtlas Project Lead, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development RTP, NCAlexa McKerrow, Biologist, U.S. Geological Survey, Core Science Analytics, Synthesis & Libraries Raliegh, NC

Description

The ability to assess, report, map, and forecast the life support functions of ecosystems is absolutely critical to our capacity to make informed decisions to maintain the sustainable nature of our environment now and into the future. Evaluating trade-offs in terms of ecosystem services and human well-being provides an intuitive and comprehensive way to assess the broad implications of our decisions and to help shape policies that enhance environmental and social sustainability. In answer to this challenge, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created a partnership with other Federal agencies, academic institutions, and Non-Governmental Organizations to develop the EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) an online national Decision Support Tool that allows users to view and analyze the geographical description of the supply and demand for ecosystem services, as well as the drivers of change. As part of the EnviroAtlas, an approach has been developed to quantify and map various metrics within an ecosystem services framework that are representative of vital functions and support services such as A) Biodiversity Conservation; B) Food, Fiber, and Materials; and C) Recreation, Culture, and Aesthetics. The project has progressed incrementally and first focused on the Southwest U.S. (Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah) then later the Southeast U.S. (Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida) covering 817 and 606 spp., respectively. Once complete, the project is anticipated to include 1787 terrestrial vertebrate species for the conterminous U.S. (686 bird spp., 475 mammal spp., 322 reptile spp., and 304 amphibian spp.). The purpose of the workshop is to get direct feedback from wildlife professionals and natural resource planners regarding the selection and deployment of a core set of National Biodiversity Metrics. We are targeting a focused group of individuals to gather stakeholder input regarding proposed terrestrial vertebrate biodiversity metrics that can measure and map biodiversity conservation at the national, regional, and local scales.

TARGET AUDIENCE

For the purpose of this workshop, we are interested in meeting with wildlife biology and ecology decision-makers regarding potential habitat and biodiversity metrics to help us ensure we are developing a useful approach for the nation within the EnviroAtlas framework. The review workshop and its findings could be especially helpful for State Wildlife Action Plans, refuge and special use plans, Landscape Conservation Cooperative conservation plans, National Park Service Vital Signs planning, and for anybody that is interested in large area strategic planning and assessment for biodiversity conservation.

Linking Social-Ecological Systems & Community Empowerment to Ecosystem Services Concepts


Organizer

Jeffrey Thomas, Director, Timber, Fish & Wildlife Program, Puyallup Tribe of Indians

Description

This workshop will focus upon ways in which social-ecological systems and community empowerment are linked to ecosystem services concepts. The workshop highlights the need to analyze environmental change by using critical natural capital as a starting point to account for and govern natural capital and ecosystem services. Session approaches will focus upon identifying the ecological attributes and functions that are of particular importance in a given system where the attributes of natural capital of particular concern are environmental functions that: 1) cannot be substituted for by other functions (whether environmental or technological); or 2) functions whose loss would be irreversible; and/or 3) are functions whose loss would risk (or actually involve) losses that are too significant to be acceptable.

The workshop will provide examples which focus upon identifying the ecological features that are of ultimate concern or importance, the variables and features that are most relevant, and detailing how these socially important features are understood to change - e.g. in terms of trophic structures, species compositions, and/or the physiology of individual plant, fish, shellfish, or animal species, etc. Examples will highlight approaches involving prominent or culturally significant species, losses or changes in the availability of cultural keystone species, alterations in the abundance or productivity of cultural keystone species, and/or identifying and analyzing species that have experienced decline (as well as those that have not). Examples may underscore “small-scale” keystone species that are only recognized as having particular meaning to specific individuals, or families or clan groups; and/or highlight practices that cultures use to encourage the abundance of particular species (including taboos),as well as recommend habitat improvements, or utilize species as qualitative indicators of local ecosystem dynamics; and/or to highlight their knowledge regarding local species, or identify medicinal plant or animal species as well.

Techniques will underscore the need to view people and nature as constituting interdependent social-ecological systems that are inextricably linked, and to account for both natural capital and resilience principles within mutual decisions, and to use collaboration and goal-sharing involving environmental stewardship and social justice overall. Basic principles will promote using consensus to identify problems and their causes along with sustainable solutions, and to acknowledge thought collectives that share a particular thought style, and to utilize science to ‘assist in the process of governance’. Key points will include using multicultural perspectives to understand the different views and perceptions of others, and to form specific goals and solve specific problems, and to identify specific co-management interventions. Utilizing participatory approaches and exploring questions of common interest, searching for complementarities, identifying the scale or level of the problem, relating analyses to specific purposes and societal practices, using transdisciplinary research, and building the capacity to adapt to change, will each be promoted as well. The main points of the workshop will be to foster participation, collective action, social learning, and social sources of resilience, for the benefit of all.

AFTERNOON Workshop


The ESII Tool in Practice: Using the Results of the ESII Tool for Multiple Applications

1:30pm – 5:00pm | Grand Ballroom 2

Organizers & SPEAKERS

Morgan Erhardt (Primary Contact), Consultant, EcoMetrix Solutions GroupKevin Halsey, Senior Consultant, EcoMetrix Solutions GroupJennifer Molnar, Managing Director and Lead Scientist, The Nature ConservancyFrance Guertin, Engineered Natural Technologies Program Manager for the Environmental Footprint Solutions Group, Dow Chemical

Description

This interactive, half-day training, delivered by The Nature Conservancy, The Dow Chemical Company and EcoMetrix Solutions Group, will introduce participants to the ESII Tool. The ESII Tool (pronounced “easy”), was developed in collaboration by Dow, TNC, and EcoMetrix Solutions Group, and is owned by TNC. ESII is a free assessment tool that provides information that can lead to better decisions and better conservation outcomes. It fills an important gap between simple tools built upon limited scientific information and complex tools that require expert users. Designed for natural resources managers, engineers, business managers, and ecologists alike, the tool can be used in the early stages of decision making to identify benefits provided by natural assets so that their value can be incorporated into operational and planning decisions. The ESII Tool can be used in site planning, impact assessments, cost/benefit analyses, or to compare alternatives. Outputs from the tool can be used directly in financial analyses or engineering models. The tool consists of the iOS-based Field App, used to collect ecological information on site, and the web-based Project Workspace, where projects are set up, data is reviewed, and outputs are generated.

Using real-world examples, participants will explore how information about ecosystem services can inform decision-making in a variety of planning and decision contexts. Results from the ESII Tool, in both engineering units and ecological performance measures, will be provided for a set of scenarios, and participants will learn how to apply an ecosystem services analysis framework to business propositions and questions, and how different units of measure can be effective for understanding the relative changes in ecosystem services for respective scenarios. The workshop will close with an in-depth look at Dow’s experience applying the ESII Tool for a greenbelt restoration project at one of its facilities.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This workshop is relevant for individuals and organizations interested in identifying and assessing ecosystem services on a given site quickly and inexpensively. These may be planners, engineers, facilities managers, and natural resource managers interested in using decision-support tools for a wide range of activities including: assessing site designs and alternatives; assisting with restoration projects; creating an inventory of natural assets; scoping impact assessments; comparing green vs. gray infrastructure; and supporting dialogue and engagement with local communities.

Outputs from the ESII Tool can improve management decisions, while enhancing an organization’s stewardship of nature and commitments to community success. Using the ESII Tool also increases awareness of the value of natural lands and waters, provides ideas on how to enhance land use designs, and triggers more detailed analyses of nature and the benefits provided by nature on a site.

Science and Decisions: A Town Hall Discussion on Ecosystem Services, Science, and Decision Making



Carl Shapiro (Organizer), Director, Science and Decisions Center, U.S. Geological SurveyJim Boyd, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for the Management of Ecological Wealth, Resources for the FutureErica Goldman, Director of Policy Engagement, COMPASSAnne Kinsinger, Associate Director for Ecosystems, U.S. Geological SurveyJerry Miller, Director, Science and Technology for Sustainability, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Valerie Were, Social Scientist, I.M. Systems Group for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Description

Scientific information can be a critical input to decision making on natural resources management and other societal issues. However, the existence of scientific information alone does not ensure that it will be effectively used to inform decisions. Analytical efforts, collaboration and communication with stakeholders, adaptive management, and other proactive approaches may facilitate application of scientific information in decision making.

The impact on decision making of these proactive processes, including use of an ecosystem services approach, will be discussed at this town hall meeting. An ecosystem services approach provides a structured process for applying (biological, physical, social, and economic) scientific information to identify, measure, and value ecosystem services resulting in information that may be useful and useable to inform decisions. The town hall meeting will provide a forum for discussing how an ecosystem services approach can be applied to decision making and some of the resulting opportunities and challenges.

Nexus of Indigenous Knowledge and Ecosystem Services

5:15pm - 6:45pm | Grand Ballroom 2

OrganizerS & SPEAKERS

Jon Waterhouse, Indigenous Peoples Scholar, Oregon Health and Science University Paige West, Claire Tow Professor of Anthropology, Barnard College, Columbia University and Editor, Environment and Society Jim Powell, Assistant Professor of Public Administration, University of Alaska Southeast

Description

Since the 1990s conservation and development experts have known that they need to understand “indigenous knowledge” if their projects and policies on and near indigenous communities and lands are to succeed. Initially located in fields that focused on agricultural production systems and sustainable development, and then moving to fields that focused on biodiversity conservation, what we call an ‘expert knowledge of needing to know’ has emerged much more broadly across the sciences. What do we mean by an ‘expert knowledge of needing to know’? Between the three of us we have decades of experience working with, living and learning in indigenous communities. Part of that experience, for each of us, has been working with scientists who wish to conduct research on indigenous lands or carry out well-intentioned projects on indigenous lands. We are collectively struck by how often we see that scientists understand that what indigenous people think, know, and do is important; indeed many of the scientists we know understand that it is crucial. Yet the level of fundamental misunderstanding of what “indigenous knowledge” is, as well as the fundamental misunderstanding of how, methodologically, researchers can access local knowledge systems, also strikes us. In this town hall first, we will work with participants to help create a more robust understanding of what “indigenous knowledge” is and what it is not. Along with this we will facilitate a broader discussion of how indigenous communities come to know and then use what they know to relate to ecosystems and social systems. Next, we will work together to illustrate what methodologies for understanding indigenous life ways and systems of belief both help outsiders understand how people produce knowledge, and how they then deploy that knowledge through their practices, as well as how they might approach these questions in ways that are respectful towards indigenous worlds. Finally we will bring all of this together in a specific discussion of how indigenous ways of knowing, ways of expressing knowledge, and ways of living practices of knowledge articulate with ecosystem services approaches.

WEDNESDAY EVENING TOWN HALLS

deCember 7, 2016

The Value of Natural Capital to Business – The Application of the Natural Capital Protocol 5:30pm-6:45pm | Grand Ballroom 1 Organizer & SPEAKERS

Doug MacNair, Ph.D. (Organizer), Technical Manager ( on part time secondment from ERM), Natural Capital Coalition Michele Thieme, Senior Freshwater Scientist, World Wildlife FundJoe Rozza, Global Manager, Water Sustainability and Natural Capital, The Coca-Cola CompanyBrian Israel, Partner, Arnold and Porter, LLP Thomas Polzin, Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability, The Dow Chemical Company

Description

The overall vision of the Natural Capital Coalition (the Coalition) is of a world where business conserves and enhances natural capital. To achieve this it has produced through a unique collaborative effort the Natural Capital Protocol (the Protocol). The Protocol, released in July 2016 is a standardized framework for business to measure and value its impacts and dependencies on natural capital. The Protocol is designed for internal decision-making and can be used for a range of applications, including risk management, exploring new revenue streams, improving products and value chain innovation, as well as preparing for future reporting and disclosure.

The Protocol provides guidance on the mechanics and role on qualitative, quantitative, and monetary valuation approaches to assessing natural capital impacts and dependencies. All three approaches can provide important information for corporate decision makers; however, monetary valuation continues to be the most controversial. The greatest potential value of monetary valuation is that it creates a common metric for diverse types of natural capital and can make it easier for companies to evaluate the business case for action. Conversely, monetary valuation can be problematic for companies because of challenges inaccurately calculating and interpreting monetary values and the potential liability associated with monetizing impacts. This town hall will provide a forum to discuss value of conducting natural capital assessments and the role of these three approaches in meeting different needs of corporate decision making needs.

Speakers will provide short 3-minute introduction about their perspectives on their experience with the Protocol and their perspectives on the value of conducting monetary valuations to help businesses make better decisions. Joe Rozza from the Coca-Cola Company and Michele Thieme from the World Wildlife Fund will speak about their experiences with using the Protocol as part of the pilot testing. Brian Israel, Partner at Arnold and Porter, will provide a legal perspective on valuing natural capital.

TARGET Audience

The target audience for this town hall are companies, academics, policy makers, and NGOs who are active in using or developing approaches and tools for monetary valuation. The goal is to help create a shared vision of the practical needs of companies in performing natural capital assessments. This, in turn, can foster collaboration amongst interested parties to develop valuation approaches that improve internal decision making and protect natural capital.

What’s Next for Ecosystem Services in Decision Making: Priorities and Pathways 5:30pm- 6:45pm | Grand Ballroom 2 Organizer & SpeakersLydia Olander, PhD (Organizer), Director of Ecosystem Services Program and National Ecosystem Services Partnership at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, and Adjunct Associate Professor at the Nicholas School of the Environment Erica Goldman, PhD, Director of Policy Engagement, COMPASS Bobby Cochran, Executive Director, Willamette Partnership Carl Shapiro, Director, Science and Decisions Center, U.S. Geological Survey Frank Casey, Deputy Associate Director for Ecosystem Services, Council on Environmental Quality Christopher Hartley, USDA Office of Environmental MarketsElizabeth Murray, Research Biologist, U.S. Army Corps of EngineersPeter Wiley, Economist, NOAA Office for Coastal ManagementEdie Sonne Hall, Manager, Sustainable Forests and Products, WeyerhaeuserSarah Murdock, Director, U.S. Climate Resilience and Water Policy, The Nature Conservancy

Description

Ecosystem services approaches to decisions, which aim to more fully incorporate the benefits provided by nature to people, have progressed over the past decade around the world from largely academic frameworks, to best practices that enable these approaches to be operationalized (Olander and Maltby 2014; Schaefer, et. al 2015). The release of a White House policy memorandum in October 2015 calling on federal agencies to begin incorporating ecosystem services approaches within current planning, investment, and regulatory frameworks has accelerated action in the US, while the work of the Wealth Accounting and the Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) group at the World Bank and the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) are rapidly increasing uptake in other countries.

To effectively incorporate ecosystem services into decision making, a rapid and efficient process is needed to move knowledge held by the research community into forms, processes, and tools that can be used by practitioners and decision makers. We will likely achieve better outcomes if this is an efficient and coordinated effort both within and outside governments.

This town hall will present the range of perspectives from the ecosystem services community, along with outputs of a round table convening held in March 2016. The presentation will provide a sense of the current landscape and near term priorities of the ecosystem services decision maker and practitioner communities, focused on the critical needs for moving forward (and improving) the integration of ecosystem services into public and private decision-making. It is also designed to inform new federal leadership as it steps up in January 2017.

The town hall seeks to engage the ACES Community in a discussion of ways to advance inter-sector and interdisciplinary collaboration to further the integration of ecosystem services into decision-making processes. ACES is a perfect community to engage with partners to try to keep the ball rolling forward and fill critical gaps.

TARGET Audience

The target audience is quite broad as we hope to engage all actors that could potentially be involved in moving forward one of the many tasks necessary to advance the use of ecosystem services in decision making in the US and abroad. This would involve government actors, environmental NGOs, landowners, lawyers, environmental practitioners, foundations, academics, bridging institutions and many more.

How Climate Change is Impacting Native American Sacred Sites and Cultural Practices 5:30pm-6:45pm | Grand Ballroom 3 Organizer & SPEAKERS

Monique Fordham, Esq. (Organizer), National Tribal Liaison, U.S. Geological SurveyMichael Durglo Jr, Division of Environmental Protection Manager Elizabeth James-Perry, Member of Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe, Noepe Island (Martha's Vineyard) T. M. Bull Bennett, President and CEO, Kiksapa Consulting LLC

Description

As former Secretary Ken Salazar stated in his Secretarial Order 3289, Addressing the Impacts of Climate Change on America’s Water, Land, and Other Natural and Cultural Resources, “[c]limate change may disproportionately affect tribes and their lands because they are heavily dependent on their natural resources for economic and cultural identity.” As these severe climate events occur with greater force and frequency, Native American Nations are facing unprecedented challenges to their sacred sites and cultural practices that have sustained them for millennia. This Town Hall will provide case studies and the tribal perspective on the effect these impacts are having on tribal cultural survival in the 21st century. This Town Hall will provide a forum to discuss these challenges.

Three Native American speakers will give 20 minute presentations on these impacts specific to their Tribes and regions, as well as perspectives on the significance they have on tribal spiritual practices and how this affects the first Peoples of our country. The Panel will be moderated by USGS National Tribal Liaison Monique Fordham, Esq. (Nulheagan Abenaki).

TARGET Audience

The target audience is all who are interested in understanding the impacts that climate change is having on the cultural survival of Native American Tribes. The session is intended to provide the audience with the opportunity to hear directly to hear from tribal communities and to broaden their understanding of how ecosystem services include the spiritual and cultural practice elements that sustain Native cultural survival.

EnviroAtlas’ New Environmental Markets Decision Support Tools: Linking Ecosystem Services with Environmental Markets Data and Policies 12:00pm-1:05pm | Grand Ballroom 1 Organizer & SPEAKERS

Christopher Hartley (Organizer), Deputy Director and Senior Environmental Markets Analyst, USDA Office of Environmental MarketsGenevieve Bennett, Senior Associate - Water and Biodiversity Programs, Forest Trends’ Ecosystem MarketplaceAnne Neale, EnviroAtlas Project Lead, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Description

Up-to-date, comprehensive, and spatially oriented data are critical to advance effective application of environmental markets in economic development, conservation planning, and public policy. USDA, EPA, and Forest Trends’ Ecosystem Marketplace have partnered to incorporate environmental markets data into the Federal ecosystem services decision support tool, EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas provides users the ability to freely view, analyze, and download geospatial data and other resources. The newly developed environmental markets data layers show where markets for watershed services, carbon, wetlands, and habitats occur on the U.S. landscape. Users can view information about markets, individual projects and enabling policies, and explore this data in the context of the 300+ environmental and demographic map layers available on EnviroAtlas. The integration allows users to understand trends, gaps, and opportunities, as well as make inferences about demand and enabling or limiting conditions for environmental markets. Planners and managers can identify areas of opportunity or conflict and make informed decisions based on reliable information.

TARGET Audience

The target audience includes policy makers, market administrators, ecosystem services practitioners, landowners, and academics. Town Hall participants will learn about the EnviroAtlas tool and the newly available ecosystem markets data, and how they can use them to learn about markets across the country.

Ecosystem Services 2.0 - Enabling Civic Ecology through Participatory Science and Open Innovation 12:00pm-1:05pm | Grand Ballroom 2 Organizer & SPEAKERS

Sophia Liu, Ph.D. (Organizer), Innovation Specialist, Science and Decisions Center, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)Clayton Cox, Ph.D., AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow, Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)Elizabeth Tyson, Co-Director of Commons Lab, Program Associate of Science and Technology Innovation Program, Wilson CenterJoe Morrison, Product Specialist, OpenTreeMap, Azavea

Description

Imagine having a million or even thousands of volunteers help you with your work. Crowdsourcing, citizen science, and civic hacking are open and participatory approaches for obtaining new ideas, content, or services by soliciting contributions from a large group of people. They are often broad in scope, interdisciplinary in nature, and disruptive to traditional means for conducting science. The increase in internet access, mobile social technologies, and low-cost sensors have enabled new opportunities to collect, analyze, and communicate scientific data from citizens at much broader spatial and temporal scales. There are also now federal policies and curated federal resources like CitizenScience.gov and Challenge.gov to accelerate open innovation efforts through public participation across the U.S. government. This Lunch Town Hall session is an opportunity to explore and discuss how participatory science and open innovation techniques can enable civic ecology and enhance the field of ecosystem services. The moderator will provide an overview of some of the participatory science and open innovation opportunities that can be applied to ecosystem services by introducing the following participatory science and open innovation concepts along with examples of related work from three speakers.

TARGET Audience

This Town Hall provides participants the opportunity to learn more about participatory science and open innovation techniques and how they can enhance the ecosystem services approach. Scientists, practitioners, managers, and policy-makers from government, academia, NGOs, and the private sector are all encouraged to participate and share their ideas and experiences.

POSTER DISPLAY INFORMATION Poster presentations play a key role in the success of ACES. Much time will be dedicated to viewing posters, allowing scientists, policy makers, planners, practitioners and managers to interact and use these opportunities to share details of their work, successes and lessons learned.

Early morning, mid-day and afternoon refreshments will be served in the poster and exhibit room each day, as well as the formal poster reception on Thursday. (See details below)

SET-UP: Sunday, December 4th, 5:00pm-7:00pm, or any time after 7:30am on Monday, December 5th. Boards may be set-up upon arrival any time after this, but no later than Wednesday, December 7th.

LOCATION: Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, Grand Ballroom 5

POSTER RECEPTION: Thursday, December 8th, 5:30pm-7:30pm (Presenters to be stationed at posters from 6:30pm-7:30pm)

REMOVAL: Friday, December 9th, 7:30am-1:00pm

This is the primary opportunity for attendees to meet with you personally and ask questions about your work, so please be available at your poster during the appointed time.

• Poster display boards will be dismantled and removed by the vendor on Friday afternoon, so please remove your poster during the assigned time.

• Conference organizers are not responsible for lost or damaged posters removed by the display board vendor. Posters not removed and left behind will be discarded.
