Development of the Rose Blanche River, insular Newfoundland, Canada, for hydroelectricity resulted in destruction of fluvial habitat and habitat compensation was required to achieve ‘no net loss’(NNL) of habitat productive capacity. The preferred compensation alternative involved modification of a 1...
