Sponsor Information The LSU Center for Natural Resource Economics Policy (CNREP) is a research and extension cooperative that fosters the interaction of socioeconomic professionals to address natural resource management challenges in Louisiana and the nation. The Center currently has 27 active members from 8 institutions across the southeastern U.S. The center’s current activities, funded at $10.1 million over the past 6 years by 43 public and private sources outside the University, has led to the emergence of CNREP as a primary source of socioeconomic expertise for state and federal agencies in the Gulf coast. Every three years, CNREP holds a national conference to coordinate the activities of resource economists and policy professionals working on coastal issues. The CNREP forum is the primary venue in the southern US for coastal researchers to network with social science peers from academia, state and federal agencies, NGOs and the private sector. Examples of the merging session topics for the CNREP 2013 conference include: • Ecosystem services: valuation methods and applications for coastal restoration • Assessing and prioritizing coastal restoration projects • Access and use of coastal land and waters for commercial and recreational uses • Legal mechanisms to ensure sustainable development in coastal areas • Economic recovery in the wake of natural and man-made disasters Additional information about the triennial CNREP conferences of 2004, 2007 and 2010 is available at the links in the menu bar to the left.
