The No Net Loss policy means that lost wetlands functions must be restored through the mitigation process of preserving existing wetlands and enhancing their functionality. The goal of the policy is to balance wetland loss due to economic development with wetlands reclamation, mitigation, and restorations efforts, so that the total acreage of wetlands in the watershed/drainage basin does not decrease, but remains constant or increases.
Mitigation Banking is the preservation, enhancement, restoration or creation of a wetland which offsets, or compensates for, expected adverse impacts to similar nearby ecosystems.
“Mitigation Banking helps in preserving the diversity of nature. It helps in balancing the negative effect of growing industrialization on wetlands, natural habitats, and streams to a greater extent. Moreover, the economies of scale and technological expertise of mitigation banking raise its efficiency in terms of cost as well as the quality of restored acreage.”
Mitigation Banks have been previously degraded by ditching, cattle grazing, planted pine plantation, exotic species invasion, and prolonged fire suppression, resulting in significantly degraded wetland habitats.
Mitigation Banks are large contiguous parcels of land that have a conservation easement and an environmental restoration plan via a permit with State and Federal agencies. The restoration efforts are monetized by the agencies providing the landowner with mitigation credits to sell to permittees who have unavoidable impacts to wetlands within the same drainage basin.
The restoration of the land consists of enhancement and restoration of wetlands and uplands through plantings, nuisance/exotic vegetation removal, restoration of historic drainage patterns and hydrologic connections through the construction of low water crossings, backfilling ditches, exotic species eradication, pine tree thinning, prescribed burning, and preservation through execution of a conservation easement; which will restore all of the wetland and upland buffer habitats to their optimal condition.
Mitigation Banking is a cost-effective way of reducing delays in permitting and ensuring vital natural areas are preserved for future generations.
We manage and streamline the complex relationships between developers, landowners, regulatory agencies and mitigation bankers involved in development projects by providing innovative mitigation solutions.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries have proposed a revised definition of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act. This move aims to align more closely with a stricter interpretation of the term "take" as defined by statute.
