Notes

• Defines NOAA policy for Mitigation including banking and In Lieu Fee programs.
• Defines eight priniciples:
  1. Apply the mitigation sequence appropriately.
  2. Employ the best scientific information available.
  3. Apply a holistic landscape and/or seascape approach.
  4. Promote mitigation strategies with high probability of success.
  5. Consider climate change and climate resilience when evaluating and developing mitigation measures.
  6. Implement compensatory mitigation that is proportional to impacts to NOAA trust resources and offsets those impacts to the full extent provided by NOAA authorities.
  7. Use preservation of intact habitat as compensation appropriately, taking into account the high risk of habitat loss in many coastal and marine landscapes and seascapes.
  8. Collaborate with partner agencies and stakeholders.
