Description
Can the market protect the Great Lakes better than government bureaucrats? Do government fish and water regulations do more damage than good?
Donald R. Leal and Brandon Scarborough of the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC - www.perc.org) will be discussing their experience and research on the failures of government regulations on fisheries and water allocation in the Great Lakes as well as the West.
Donald R. Leal is a Senior Fellow at PERC. Leal's research on natural resources and environmental issues spans nearly 20 years. His current focus is on preventing over-harvesting of marine resources and restoring ocean fisheries. He has authored several books including, "Enviro-Capitalists, Doing Good While Doing Well", and "Free Market Environmentalism".
Brandon Scarborough is a Research Fellow at PERC.
The event is free and open to all! There will be a Q&A after the discussion.
