A blue carbon assessment to improve the conservation and management of local seagrass and mangroves, began in the Rewa province, last week. The assessment is being carried out by the Management and Conservation of Blue Carbon Ecosystems (MACBLUE) project who have been conducting field surveys at selected sites to measure blue carbon stocks and emissions.
The data collected will allow inventories of associated natural capital and will support government partners to develop and implement conservation, management, and rehabilitation efforts. MACBLUE Project Coordinator, Ms Turang Teuea, said the assessment focuses on mangroves and seagrass ecosystems and will support partner countries with their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
