Abstract:

Habitat Equivalency Analysis HEA is a procedure developed to scale compensation for habitat damage National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA 1997 with potential application to environmental benefits analysis. In a previous technical note the basic concepts underlying HEA, its strengths and weaknesses, and example calculations were described Ray 2008.
