Abstract
This effort developed a simple protocol for evaluating the socio-economic, distributional, and equity issues associated with the relocation of wetlands from project-site habitat to off-site mitigation areas. The protocol analysis was applied in two watershed areas to determine if off-site wetland mitigation and the incentives for such compensation are having socio-economic and equity impacts.
