The Center for the Blue Economy Presents: Measure AA: Accelerating Climate Adaptation and Habitat Restoration in SF Bay

In June, voters in nine counties voted by more than 70 percent to establish a regional parcel tax to fund tidal marsh restoration in San Francisco Bay. Over the next 20 years, this tax will provide $500 million to accelerate re-establishment of wetlands that benefit endangered species, and improve flood protection for shoreline communities. More than a decade of preparation and advocacy produced and passed this unprecedented ballot measure with broad support, to boost the nation’s largest urban climate adaptation and natural resilience project.

The Center for the Blue Economy Presents: Can the EU be reformed? A Case Study: The Reform of Common Fisheries Policy

Eurosceptics often argue that the EU “can’t be reformed” because it is too complex. Yet, the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP) in 2013 showed the contrary: a policy heavily criticized within the Union was reformed from inside to the satisfaction of its main critics. The presentation will explain how this reform was possible, what were the drivers and the challenges ahead. About the Speaker: Mr. Ernesto Penas Lado has been the Director of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs for the European Commission since 2007.
