Blue Carbon and Circular Economy
Research Context
Blue-carbon ecosystems and circular use of marine resources are important to climate action and sustainable development. This theme covers carbon measurement and verification in coastal habitats, carbon-market mechanisms, ecosystem restoration, and reuse of marine waste such as fishing nets and oyster shells.
