The two most important issues are damage to the environment of Seaborne and destruction of the basic Banksedge River Ecology.
Obstructing or opposing the deep port project
Forming coalitions with other parties who might oppose the project
Being included in the project ( Not being excluded )
Fighting for their cause
What is your BATNA ? Reservation Price ? Target ?
My main objective is to block Harborco from obtaining a license to build the deepwater port.
If unable to block the deal, ensure that environmental concessions are made within the deal to protect and to rebuild the environmental and ecological integrity of the port area.
My target would be to get 100 points and reservation price would be 50 -60 points. This will allows us to compare the potential gains and losses associated with different issues.
What issues are important to your opponent ?
Securing financial funding from the Federal DCR

Obtaining approval from the FLA to build the deep water port.

What is your opponents BATNA ? Reservation Price ? Target ?
Harborco , which is a newly formed national consortium , consortium members are from variety of enterprises and are diversified among a number of commercial activities, they want to diversify into operation of the port. If that does not go through , they're already well established in their respective fields.
They also can form a coalition with other states to build the port in their states.
Their primary motto is to generate as much as profit as they can at the expense of environment degradation, not compensating other ports, taking Max loan as they can and giving no special preference to union workers.
Apply for a license further down the coast in a different state.
