• Case Study 3. Economic Benefits Help Drive Cleanup of Severn Sound (PDF)

Severn Sound is one of only seven AOCs yet to be delisted since 1985. Effective collaboration and cooperation among all stakeholders were essential to achieve delisting. Economic benefits assessments played a key role in making the case for implementing remedial actions, documenting return on investment, and securing commitments from responsible organizations for implementation.
