Name the model: R3 Ibat REA Model v6.userCreators: Jennifer Szymanski, Forest Clark Programmer: Drew Laughland
Purpose:
User guide: A comprehensive user guide accompanies this model. All users are expected to read the guide before applying the model.
To calculate the credit gained from proposed mitigation projects to offset residual take (i.e., take anticipated after avoidance and minimization measures have been applied). Note, the model is not intended to calculate mitigation debit due to population level effects.

To calculate the credit gained from proposed mitigation projects to offset residual take (i.e., take anticipated after avoidance and minimization measures have been applied). Note, the model is not intended to calculate mitigation debit due to population level effects.

To calculate the credit gained from proposed mitigation projects to offset residual take (i.e., take anticipated after avoidance and minimization measures have been applied).Note, the model is not intended to calculate mitigation debit due to population level effects.
