The project contributes to the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)’s component of the Management and Conservation of Blue Carbon Ecosystems (or MACBLUE) project, aiming to “contribute to human and technical capacity to the mapping, management and rehabilitation of coastal ecosystems.” The MACBLUE project is a joint effort between the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the Pacific Community (SPC) and SPREP. Its aim is to “strengthen coastal biodiversity conservation and management through protection and rehabilitation incentives for coastal carbon sinks in Pacific Island countries.” The project requires blue carbon assessments in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.
