Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

W-1133 has been very successful in bringing together a wide variety of scientists across the U.S. to examine issues related to environmental issues. The group has also been very effective in publishing in various outlets. They held a successful meeting in Hawaii in conjunction with the Western Regional Science Association in February of 2004. Various means of estimating values of environmental resources has been extensively written about.
