The National Environmental Banking Association and EcoBlu Analyst™ has updated the GIS layer data on the U.S. Mitigation and Conservation Bank data map available on our site. The data includes the latest data available as of Q2 (April) 2024.
This collection of geographic information and associated maps, apps, and data layers are additional resources for ArcGIS users to understand mitigation within their project and regional context, and it is made available by the industry association NEBA to further the goal of no net loss of wetlands.
This GIS layer is intended for those seeking environmental offsets for projects with unavoidable impacts to streams, wetlands, and species habitats. It enables engineers, architects, land planners, governments, and others improved decision-making for sustainable planning and site design.
For more detailed information regarding any of the above-mentioned technology or the applications in general, please visit the EcoBlu Analyst™ website Here or contact us at support@ecobluanalyst.com
Accurate and up-to-date data is critical for making informed environmental decisions which benefit biodiversity and increase climate resilience. The addition of mitigation data from EcoBlu Analyst to the community of some 300,000 organizations using the Esri platform will provide new insights to a spectrum of environmental workflows.

By design, it aligns economic incentives with ecological restoration, proving that well-functioning
