This project will apply innovative approaches to develop a functional equivalency of nutrients from catchment versus point sources. This is fundamental knowledge needed for the successful application of nutrient offsetting. This market-based mechanism involves point source polluters choosing to pay for catchment restoration, which is offset against their nutrient discharge. Currently, despite its potential, there is a lack of confidence in the scientific robustness of nutrient offsetting. The proposed new indicators in nutrient equivalency would provide the foundation needed to ensure that governments and industry can have the confidence to engage in nutrient trading schemes, ultimately ensuring environmental and social benefits.

该项目将应用创新方法来开发流域和点源养分的功能等效性。这是成功应用营养补偿所需的基础知识。这种基于市场的机制涉及点源污染者选择支付流域恢复费用，这抵消了他们的养分排放。目前，尽管营养抵消具有潜力，但人们对它的科学稳健性缺乏信心。拟议的养分当量新指标将为确保政府和行业有信心参与养分贸易计划提供所需的基础，最终确保环境和社会效益。
