Building Blue Carbon Projects
An Introductory Guide
A ‘ridge to reef’ approach for Blue Carbon projects could help protect connected corridors
between Blue Carbon habitats and coral reefs and maintain the resiliency and productivity of
greater coral reef ecosystems, especially by reducing land-based threats such as
sedimentation, nutrient enrichment and pollution runoff.
