| This part of our web site introduces the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and describes how it works. The OECD groups 30 member countries in an organisation that, most importantly, provides governments a setting in which to discuss, develop and perfect economic and social policy. They compare experiences, seek answers to common problems and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies that increasingly in today's globalised world must form a web of even practice across nations. Their exchanges may lead to agreements to act in a formal way - for example, by establishing legally-binding codes for free flow of capital and services, agreements to crack down on bribery or to end subsidies for shipbuilding. http://www.oecd.org/

Because we are based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, our expertise is focused around the Mississippi River and the metro streams that flow into it. However, much of that knowledge can be used in any watershed or it can help steer you in the right direction to find the exact answers to your questions. http://cgee.hamline.edu/watershed/Resources/index.htm
