Before the 1970s, the US government had encouraged the development of wetlands in order to promote economic development, causing substantial damage to wetlands. As environmental issues frequently, the federal government began to implementation wetland policy. "Zero net loss" has gradually established as the US wetland conservation goals. "Zero net loss" means:anywhere wetlands should be protected, so as to maintain and even increase the wetland resource base. Wetland Mitigation Banking System is the American practice of wetland compensation system innovation. Under the control of government, Wetland Mitigation Bank is the more effective means to achieve "zero net loss" goal by market mechanisms. However, there are still many problems in our wetlands protection, the wetland ecological compensation mechanism is still in its infancy and the market mechanism hasn’t been used. The government mitigation is the most important way of compensation and most of the compensation fund is paid by the government. With the development of society, how to achieve a balance between land use and wetland protection, and how to achieve sustainable use of environmental resources in the economic development process has become an ecological compensation research goal.This paper focuses on the US Wetland Mitigation Banking System. To study that it’s how to use market mechanism to achieve the sustainable use of Wetland resources. At the first part, try to analyze the establishment and development of the Wetland Mitigation Bank to understand the government policy and legal background. Wetland Mitigation Bank has been affirmed through legislation system. The affirmation of the legislation and scientific management system has ensured the implementation of Wetland Mitigation Banking System. In the second part, try to analyze the basic principle of operation of the Wetland Mitigation Bank to know it is how to implement. In the third part, try to evaluate the Wetland Mitigation Banking System and try to sum up that the system in the use of market mechanisms can raise the balance of compensation funds and wetland protection and can ensure public participation. To find out that legislation affirms and scientific management system are the insurances of the implementation of the system. Based on the analysis of the current situation of the wetland ecological compensation in China, the last part of this paper is to summarize what we can learn from the Wetland Mitigation Bank. Put forward the suggestions of perfecting our country’s wetland ecological compensation market mechanism and hope to establish the Wetland Mitigation Banking model in the highway construction process in our country.The successful experience of the Wetland Mitigation Bank shows that under the control of the government, using market-oriented wetland compensation mode can effectively protect the wetland, realize the balance of the wetland ecological value and economic value. However, according to China’s current national conditions, it is not realistic to establish the Wetland Mitigation Bank. This paper is on the basis of the Wetland Mitigation Bank and China’s national conditions standing in the long term that put forward the idea to establish the market mechanism of the wetland ecological compensation.
