| Mitigation &
Creation
Creation or restoration of vernal pools has been required by
the the regulatory agencies to mitigate for project impacts to
natural vernal pool resources. Recently, organizations have been
creating 'banks' of restoration and preservation credits which
they then sell to developers who need to provide mitigation for
impacts. Most biologists agree that created and restored vernal
pools do not fully replace the ecosystem function of natural
vernal pools.
