	With the support of the Department’s Growing Greener grant program, the World Resources Institute (WRI) in partnership with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) with assistance from the Department and with input from the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy Steering Committee workgroups developed an on-line nutrient trading platform, NutrientNet, to support the Pennsylvania Nutrient Credit Trading Program. NutrientNet is an online tool comprised of estimation tools, which estimate the amount of credits needed or potentially generated by a pollutant reduction activity, and a marketplace where users can buy or sell credits.
