CEO of Mission Markets Mike Van Patten Quoted in Article on Water Quality Credits

Today, there was an interesting article on the Schooled Green blog about water quality credit markets entitled "Finding the Money in Water: Why You Should Watch the Chesapeake". Mike shared some of his insights as an expert on the subject. Here is a brief quote from the post:

Mike specializes in trading environmental credits for things like wetland mitigation and water quality, and asked him where to find the hottest market opportunity on his radar. He answered before I could blink. 'No question,' he said, 'it's the nitrogen and phosphorous emissions markets in the Chesapeake Bay.'"
