In the United States, the Regulatory In lieu fee and Bank Information Tracking System (RIBITS) is a composite registry that is used for both the Compensatory Wetlands Mitigation scheme and the Conservation Banking scheme. Developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Fish and Wildlife Service, the RIBITS website provides civil society with information on the location of offset and compensation sites, their geographical service areas and the availability of credits from the site (USACE, 2014). Like the RIBITS database, the registry system used in England has a strong focus on communicating the availability of credits at prospective offset sites.
