In February 2023, the Center for Water Policy co-hosted a statewide conference to evaluate a decade of research and experience implementing Wisconsin\u2019s phosphorus rules and their impact on water quality. We are helping to shape future phosphorus research and policy in Wisconsin! In an ongoing collaboration between Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network<\/a> researchers, policy experts, state agencies, and nonprofits, we produced a post-conference report<\/a>\u00a0that contains an academic research agenda <\/a>for the next decade and policy recommendations <\/a>to reduce phosphorus pollution and improve water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center for Water Policy and Brico Fund Journalist in Residence, Dan Egan was the featured keynote speaker of the conference, and has been featured in multiple major media outlets<\/a> to discuss society’s delicate relationship with phosphorus, which is the focus of his newest book, “The Devil’s Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
