This draft report summarizes the results of the water storage assessment and flood control assessment conducted by O2 for Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) for the Ecosystem Services Approach Pilot on Wetlands in the Shepard Slough area east of Calgary. The broader pilot project includes a number of other components, stakeholders, and working group teams. Another component of the project being conducted by O2 is site-scale sampling of wetlands using the Wetland Ecosystem Services Protocol for the United States (WESPUS) as well as associated reporting, which is summarized separately from this report. The scope of this component of the pilot project was to assess hydrological ecosystem services, including water quantity regulation (i.e., storage and supply) and flood control, by applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) modelling approach. Existing condition and trends, where available, have been identified primarily using a series of maps.--Document.

The Ecosystem Services Pilot Project (ESPP) is intended to demonstrate a rigorous quantitative approach to ecosystem service assessments that will empower decision makers in the Province of Alberta. Decision makers have identified gaps in current policy tools, including insufficient evidence to support avoidance, mitigation and compensation decisions on wetlands; insufficient consideration of cumulative effects and long-term consequences of decision making; and limited ability to communicate the values of wetlands to developers and decision makers. To fill these gaps, the ESPP hired consultants to conduct a biophysical assessment of wetland ecosystem services that would advise the social and economic assessments that are occurring concurrently. Specifically, the consultants were asked to: Develop documented tools and techniques for ecosystem service assessments of wetlands that are user friendly and based on existing data; Apply these tools to the ESPP to provide ecosystem service assessments of the past, present and future condition and trends (e.g., past 20 years, future 10 years); and Apply these tools to the ESPP to determine the magnitude and distribution of ecosystem services that wetlands provide or contribute to at regional and site-specific scales.--Document.

As the Gulf of Mexico recovers from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural resource managers face the challenge of understanding the impacts of the spill and setting priorities for restoration work. The full value of losses resulting from the spill cannot be captured, however, without consideration of changes in ecosystem services-the benefits delivered to society through natural processes. An Ecosystem Services Approach to Assessing the Impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico discusses the benefits and challenges associated with using an ecosystem services approach to damage assessment, describing potential impacts of response technologies, exploring the role of resilience, and offering suggestions for areas of future research. This report illustrates how this approach might be applied to coastal wetlands, fisheries, marine mammals, and the deep sea-each of which provide key ecosystem services in the Gulf-and identifies substantial differences among these case studies. The report also discusses the suite of technologies used in the spill response, including burning, skimming, and chemical dispersants, and their possible long-term impacts on ecosystem services.
