Ohio Wetlands President Vince Messerly was recently asked to share his insights on compensatory mitigation practices in the United States with the United Kingdom’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Consultants working on behalf of DEFRA are preparing a report exploring compensatory mitigation costs and benefits in other countries and interviewed Messerly. The information gathered in the report may lead to an environmental credit trading program in the U.K. in the future.
