Description:Habitat equivalency analysis (HEA) is a methodology used to determine compensation for such resource injuries. The principal concept underlying the method is that the public can be compensated for past losses of habitat resources through habitat replacement projects providing additional resources of the same type. Natural resource trustees have employed HEA for groundings, spills and hazardous waste sites. Habitats involved in these analyses include seagrasses, coral reefs, tidal wetlands, salmon streams, and estuarine soft-bottom sediments. The goals of this paper are to present an overview of HEA and illustrate the method with a simple, hypothetical example.
