Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation
Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated, implemented, and translated into tangible outcomes remains poorly synthesised. Here, we present an analysis of 32 …
Valuing coastal wetland restoration in Australia with discrete choice experiments
Coastal wetlands, including mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrasses, are critical ecosystems that deliver ecological and socioeconomic benefits such as wildlife habitat, water filtration, coastal protection and carbon sequestration. This study employs a discrete choice experiment to estimate the value Australians place on the restoration of these ecosystems at a national scale. There are challenges in framing ecosystem restoration scenarios at a…
Barriers and Enablers to Blue Carbon Projects in Africa
Africa's ‘blue carbon ecosystems’ are increasingly recognised for their role in climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods, with existing carbon offset projects showcasing their potential to sequester carbon and support community livelihoods. Despite this promise, blue carbon (BC) projects remain scarce across Africa. Understanding the barriers to BC implementation is therefore critical for unlocking their po…
Trends in Market‐Based Blue Carbon Projects
The integration of blue carbon (BC) into the voluntary carbon market promotes BC ecosystem management through financial incentives. We analysed 70 BC projects and present a comprehensive knowledge synthesis on a multifaceted BC sector and its contribution toward sustainable development. Currently, market‐based BC projects are located across 29 countries, covering an extent of one million hectares globally. Mangrove projects are dominant (99.98%) …
