Feasibility Planning for Pacific Northwest Blue Carbon Finance Projects - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)
This project used the Verified Carbon Standard methodology and existing and newly-collected blue carbon data to demonstrate the feasibility of including carbon finance in funding strategies that support the restoration of tidal wetlands in the Pacific Northwest. It evaluated the viability of potential blue carbon projects in the Snohomish (Washington), Skagit (Washington), and Coos (Oregon) estuaries. The project advanced local stakeholders’ understanding of blue carbon-related ecosystem services and carbon finance opportunities, and identified previously unrecognized data gaps and next steps for blue carbon project development in the region. This catalyst project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to advance collaborative science. It did not produce any new data.
