Abstract
This symposium aims to identify existing research efforts that integrate impact assessements with compensatory mitigation and/or voluntary offsets. Organizers: Holly Goyert (moderator), Kate Williams, Wing Goodale, Evan Adams, Kim Peters, Scott Johnston, and Caleb Spiegel. Presentations include:
- Introduction – Holly Goyert
- USFWS approaches to compensatory mitigation, and considerations on net gain strategies – Scott Johnston Conceptual overview of the methods available to quantify compensation – Aspen Ellis
- Applications of identifying offsite offsets and acceptable levels of impact from collision with onshore wind energy in emerging markets – Dave Wilson and Aonghais Cook
- Habitat and resource equivalency analyses as potential approaches for net-positive biodiversity estimation – Anthony Dvarskas
- Research to underpin policies designed to offshore impacts from offshore wind and achieve net gain in the UK – Kate Searle
