2.11 Island vegetation The surrogate for island terrestrial vegetation is defined as extent (ha) of habitat multiplied by a condition metric. Offset Actions Restoration, invasive species removal and threat mitigation actions Offset Cost Calculator not yet available; Project-by-project determination of cost Offset Location Project-by-project determination Offset must be invested in restoration and threat mitigation actions including but not limited to: Invasive plant and animal control and eradication, Revegetation, Other anthropogenic impact mitigation. As of February 2017, there is insufficient data to use the calculator for the island vegetation surrogate. Data on actions, costs, and efficacy are being accumulated and assessed through several research projects, including Pressey & Wenger 2015 and the ongoing NESP-funded project 4.2: Saving Species on Australian Islands. When adequate data are available, the calculator may become available in the future. 2.12 Halimeda The surrogate for Halimeda is defined as extent (ha) of Halimeda bank habitat multiplied by a condition metric together with the associated benthic species. Offset Actions Conservation, threat mitigation, and related actions guided by expert opinion Offset Cost Calculator not yet available; Project-by-project determination of cost Offset Location Project-by-project determination As of February 2017, there is insufficient data to use the calculator for the Halimeda surrogate. Conservation and threat mitigation actions, along with cost and location, should be determined on a project-by-project basis in the interim, guided by expert opinion.
