Communication session at the 2012 Conference

Hi ACES community and potential 2012 conference goers.  I'm looking for feedback, collaboration and ideas to develop a communications focused conference session that people want to come to.

Please weigh in on any of the following.

1) Do we need a session focused on internal communication (i.e. the Ecosystem services community) and using tools like Ecosystem Commons?

2) Do we need a session on communicating ecosystem services to the public?

Nutrient Tracking Tool (NTT) is an internet based program and provides an easy but comprehensive method to assess water quality and quantity under various managment practices for different programs (e g., trading and TMDL). Please refer to http://tiaer.tarleton.edu/applications_tools.html site for more information and direct access to NTT.

ARLINGTON, Va. and NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 18, 2012 – American Carbon Registry (ACR), a nonprofit enterprise of Winrock International, announces an open public comment period for a first-of-its-kind carbon offset methodology that will both quantify how wetland restoration work can combat climate change and provide a way to help pay for rebuilding the Gulf of Mexico’s disappearing coastal wetland.

This thread is to discuss the creation and progress of working groups within this Marine Secretariat.

Please post your working group ideas here.
