How will nutrient farming compensate landowners for restoring wetlands?
A landowner will construct or restore a wetland and manage it (e.g., control the water level and flow rate) for optimal nutrient removal. The nutrient level in the inflow can be compared to the outflow and the difference is called a “nutrient removal credit.” These credits will then be sold to entities who view this as the most cost-effective strategy to meet their pollution control obligations.
