Specifically, CARB maintains an [ArcGIS dataset](https://webmaps.arb.ca.gov/ARBOCIssuanceMap/) of all currently enrolled offset projects. For each project, we calculate project area directly from the raw geometry. We also report information about the total number of offset credits awarded to each project, which we take from [CARB’s official issuance table](https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/compliance-offset-program/arb-offset-credit-issuance). For display purposes in the web map, we apply minor buffering and simplification steps to the raw geometries before rendering. Finally, we exclude all Early Action projects from our monitoring. -Fire perimeters come from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), an umbrella organization responsible for coordinating federal wildfire management.
