What PSMB Delivers

  1. Compensatory Credits
    Approved wetland and stream mitigation credits for permitted impacts across designated service areas.
     

  2. Restoration, Enhancement & Preservation
    Projects that provide measurable ecological lift and long-term resource protection aligned with federal and state guidance.
     

  3. Streamlined Permitting Alignment
    An agency-approved framework that reduces risk, simplifies compliance, and accelerates project timelines.


Each credit issued through PSMB represents real, measurable environmental benefit — restoring balance between development and conservation.

Why It Matters

Every acre restored through the Pocotaligo Swamp Mitigation Bank strengthens the natural resilience of South Carolina’s coastal plain.


By offsetting permitted impacts, PSMB helps protect floodplains, improve water quality, and preserve critical habitats for generations to come.

Managed by Ecological Associates, Inc., PSMB provides transparent coordination and compliance support to agencies, developers, and environmental partners across the region.
