Markets and Water Quality Symposium

3 April 2012 in Wellington

Motu, together with NIWA and the Land and Water Forum, invites you to a public symposium on markets and water quality.

The symposium will present a synthesis of recent policy-relevant work on water quality management in New Zealand. It will also provide a chance to hear sectoral, NGO, and government perspectives on the issue. There will be a particular focus on the potential role for market-based instruments to improve water quality in New Zealand.

The symposium is aimed at a general audience but will be of particular relevance to those tackling water quality issues, including central and regional government, environmental NGOs, Crown Research Institutes, the agricultural industry, and researchers.
