Blue Forests Project

The UNEP/GEF Blue Forests Project is a global initiative to explore the value of #BlueCarbon & related ecosystem services with project sites all over the world.

Yes, integrity of #BlueCarbon science is important. Classic case of undue influence by conservation priorities? I wonder of other aspects of blue carbon ar similarly compromised? 🤔

[Bryce Stewart @BD_Stew]

Some people will be pleased about the results of this study, while others won't. However, at the end of the day, it demonstrates the need for robust science and for more research on this hot topic #ClimateChange #fishing #BlueCarbon 🐟

Is #FishCarbon is missing from your discussions? (which seem to be focused on non-natural approaches)

[Julie Bremner @wormbotherer]

Our principal environmental economist Tiziana co-chairing a session on ocean-based #carbon dioxide removal. What's that, another new term for #bluecarbon and carbon capture and storage? Seems I'm out of touch, every day's a schoolday 📖

@CF_Conf @ProfCallum @Graham_Epstein How does this compare to carbon disturbance from seasonal storms?

@edgoodall Another reason why we need verifiable and auditable blue carbon market offsets that use STANDARDS for carbon, communities and biodiversity -Steven

[Blue Forests Project @GEFBFP]

Questions on blue carbon effectiveness, how about looking at what's being proposed in the #BlueCarbon market?

@earthbanc How are Earthblanc offsets certified? Other projects use Plan Vivo or Verra standards which assure carbon offsets and community benefit. How is this accomplished via Earthblanc?

Today we're celebrating #InternationalWomensDay by highlighting the efforts of women in Gazi Bay, Kenya. This women-run mangrove boardwalk generates revenue for various community projects while helping to restore mangrove forests

Dont forget the IPCC inclusion of finfish, whales and kelp as proposed blue carbon ecosystems!

[Lisa SchindlerMurray @schindlermurray]

There are 3⃣3⃣* mentions of BLUE CARBON in the latest @IPCC_CH report. Terminology matters! This is a big deal for the #bluecarbon community. Here are a few of my blue carbon takeaways... 🧵(1/6)

Today is #WorldDayOfSocialJustice! With interest in #BlueCarbon projects rapidly increasing, there is a need to ensure coastal communities are meaningfully heard, respected, and involved during such projects. Read our Blue Carbon Code of Conduct for more: https://t.co/rKd1aawwZO

@ProfTerryHughes Thanks for this question. Yes, what is the true climate mitigation additionality and scalability of coastal #bluecarbon?

[Blue Forests Project @GEFBFP]

Are we seeing the beginning of a #BlueCarbon gold rush? Should we be worried about #BlueCarbon cowboys?

[Steve Crooks @Steve_Crooks]

Blue carbon credits, transacted some months ago, are trading at prices higher than this. May the price continue towards the true value for #naturebased removals. #bluecarbon @SeascapeCI @SilvestrumCA

Is Oceanic #BlueCarbon policy and management feasible? #WhaleCarbon #FishCarbon See our #UAE policy assessment: https://t.co/Pd97McKlhb

Fish poop (oceanic #bluecarbon) transforms ocean chemistry and can store carbon for centuries!
