Wetland Mitigation Banks
Mitigation banks in Boca Raton, Florida, are the legal environmental surrogate entity enabling the authorized compensatory offset to adverse impacts to wetlands and other aquatic resources occasioned by private or public development or construction. The objective of a mitigation bank is to provide for the replacement of the chemical, physical, and biological functions of wetlands and other aquatic resources that are lost as a result of authorized impacts.
