The goals of the Gulf Coast Plains Wetland Mitigation Bank are the following:
- To restore historically occurring, high quality, tidal and freshwater wetland and aquatic habitat resource functions;
- To restore and enhance wetland hydrology onsite through the implementation of sustainable hydrological site modifications to reestablish historic surface water drainage and flow patterns; and,
- 3) To restore and enhance wetland vegetation to prior-converted agricultural areas that will re-establish historical native plant communities and habitat similar to those found on the adjacent Anahuac NWR that surrounds the Bank to the west, south, and east.
Restoration of these areas will provide optimal ecologically significant aquatic resource functions locally, to the region, and to the watershed, including unimpeded essential fish nursery habitat and access to the East Bay-Galveston Bay estuarine system, and high quality foraging, resting, feeding, nesting and breeding habitat for waterfowl, neotropical migrants and local wildlife populations throughout the year.
Unique Places to Save’s services of ensuring good financial stewardship of the endowment funds will enable perpetual maintenance of the mitigation banking components.
