A multi-disciplinary team of researchers representing the University of Vermont, the University of Rhode Island, the University of Delaware, and Colorado State University has published a study that may help create environmental policies that more effectively address pollution in our nation's most critical waterways. The study considers human activity in watersheds such as Lake Champlain, Delaware Bay, and the Chesapeake Bay. It seeks to understand how people balance their selfish and altruistic instincts when asked to account for the environmental impact of their actions in such watersheds. What mix of environmental data, economic incentive, and regulatory penalty will motivate people and businesses toward the actions that best balance the economic and environmental health of the region?
