Policy Outreach

While BRI is focused on compiling and generating new scientific data, communicating technical information to decision makers and others is a critical component of our approach and philosophy.

• Scientific Reports
  As BRI works with various clients on projects to examine mercury in specific ecosystems, we generate reports detailing our work and findings. To obtain a specific report, or details on our work, please contact BRI directly.

• Government and Agency Briefings
  The Ecological Society of America, in partnership with the Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI), the Great Lakes Commission and the Northeast-Midwest Institute, cosponsored a Congressional briefing entitled: “Mercury and Air Pollution Impacts on Ecosystems: Policy-Relevant Highlights from New Scientific Studies.” Click here for more information.

• Mercury Air Transport and Fate Research Partnership Group
  In partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), BRI is assisting in the process of developing a global mercury monitoring system, and is engaged in the deliberations for an internationally binding treaty for monitoring mercury as a global pollutant. Click here for BRI’s brochure: Mercury in the Global Environment.
