Building Blue Carbon Projects - An Introductory Guide

3.4 Existing Blue Carbon Projects Worldwide

The Blue Carbon world is rapidly growing. Over the past several years, a variety of efforts and initiatives, from feasibility assessments to full-scale demonstration projects, have taken shape, and continue to do so. The global map of Blue Carbon illustrated here in Figure 5 is based on information presented in the UNEP and GRID-Arendal managed Blue Carbon Portal (Blue Carbon Portal, 2013), Bredbenner, 2012, Albert et al ., 2012, Laffoley, 2013, Ajonina et al ., in press, and provides an overview of these activities. It is however, a snapshot of information and not intended to be a comprehensive portrayal. Figure 5 Blue Carbon projects worldwide.
