Getting onto the same page is a critically important step in finding ecologic and economic solutions to our Nation’s most challenging environmental impacts. This new session will feature Mike Sprague from the Board of NEBA, Steve Martin from US Army Corps of Engineers' Institute for Water Resources and Jason Miller from US Fish & Wildlife Service in what promises to be an interesting, revealing 90-minutes for the National Mitigation & Ecosystem Banking Conference.
Graphs, charts and maps will show current trends in bank establishment, current state-by-state credit inventories, areas with highest credit absorption, regions with greatest impacts, and other information needed to understand the general state of the mitigation marketplace, and much more.
NEBA's Sprague will show live EcoBlu Analyst v5.0 ‘mash-ups’ derived from multiple databases to share insights into the many market changes since the 2008 Mitigation Rule. Join Us at the National Mitigation and Ecosystem Banking Conference in Minneapolis, MN.
