Blue carbon is the organic carbon captured and stored in vegetated coastal ecosystems, especially mangroves, seagrass and tidal marshes. Due to their high sequestration rates, they are a valuable tool in climate change mitigation.
In Fiji, conservation practitioners have expanded their knowledge base in blue carbon through a carbon assessment capacity building workshop. Held on 12 March 2025, the workshop was hosted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) through the Management and Conservation of Blue Carbon Ecosystems (MACBLUE) project, and was facilitated by Coastal Ecologist Dr. Paul Maxwell of EcoFutures and Alluvium International Ltd.
