Wetland mitigation banking has developed
into a well-established, market-based system where buyers and
sellers of credits conduct transactions through wetland banks. As of
January, 2010, more than 950 wetland and stream mitigation banks
were operating in the US that included about 384,000 ha of restored
habitat (NMBA, 201 0) and prices ranging from $1200 to $240.000/
ha (Ecosystem Marketplace, 2011).
