Wetland Value Assessment
  • Project Area (acres): 231
  • Average Annual Habitat Units*: 67
  • Acres Created / Restored: 137
  • Acres Protected: 94
  • Total Net Acres: 231

* Habitat Units represent a numerical combination of habitat quality (Habitat Suitability Index) and habitat quantity (acres) within a given area at a given point in time. Average Annual Habitat Units represent the average number of Habitat Units within any given year over the project life for a given area.
