ESLC and the Delmarva Restoration and Conservation Network (DRCN) have released an expansive report showing the economic impact of natural resources conservation on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the entire Delmarva Peninsula. Conducted by Sage Policy Group, the report is titled, “Natural Resources Conservation on the Delmarva Peninsula,” and draws on input data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and state and local government financial documents to model critical impacts. The study includes data, several case studies, and community spotlights that highlight the voices of the Eastern Shore through the perspectives of local business owners and community members benefitting from ongoing environmental conservation.
