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.

Name the model: R3 LBB REA Model v1.userCreators: Jennifer Szymanski, Forest Clark, Erik Olson          Programmer: Drew Laughland

Purpose:  

User guide:  TBD ‐ use Ibat User Manual as an interim guide

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.
