Verra's new VCS Project Lifecycle is a great illustration of the rigour behind credible carbon projects. At @blueactionfund.org, we aim to help high-integrity blue carbon projects navigate this journey - and bring integrity and scale together. #bluecarbon

Much of the discussion around #BlueCarbon focuses on climate mitigation and carbon markets. Could there be another perspective? What if blue carbon were also viewed as a mechanism to help finance the long-term management of MPAs & coastal ecosystems - and in doing so, contribute to #30x30?

Great to join this year’s @nabu.de Salon! Had some great exchanges with the regional teams driving grassroots conservation in 🇩🇪. Also encouraging to see #30x30 feature prominently in the opening panel, a goal closely linked to @blueactionfund.org. And I even won a book in the quiz. Thanks!

Thanks to @rare.org & @conservationorg.bsky.social for organising interesting webinar on enabling conditions for financing conservation of blue carbon ecosystems. Some good insights on community-led project design - highly relevant for our future work on blue carbon at @blueactionfund.org.

Looking for input from the #SmallScaleFisheries community 👇 In one of our @blueactionfund.org projects, fishers use boats with no permanent power supply. Makes it difficult to improve surveillance, using GPS, etc.. ➡️ Anyone come across practical solutions for powering GPS devices in such contexts?
