The Pacific Northwest Regional Blue Carbon Calculator enables users to calculate estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and removals over 1 to 100-year timeframes resulting from specific land management actions. Results from the Calculator are designed to be used by restoration practitioners, land managers, scientists and others to inform restoration, conservation and enhancement project siting and design; by permitters to evaluate emissions associated with coastal shoreline development project alternatives; and by coastal planners and policy makers to help track progress towards achieving local and state nature-based climate action goals.
Background
The PNW Blue Carbon Working Group is a collaborative group of scientists, restoration practitioners, conservation leaders, land managers, policy experts, carbon finance experts, and funding program leaders committed to developing coastal blue carbon in the Pacific Northwest as a conservation and management tool to help mitigate the effects of climate change.
ABOUT US
The mission of the PNW Coastal Blue Carbon Working Group is to develop coastal blue carbon as a conservation and management tool, so the conservation and restoration of Pacific Northwest tidal wetland ecosystems can be used to help mitigate climate-related changes.
The Membership of the working group includes scientists, restoration practitioners, conservation leaders, land managers, policy and carbon market experts, representatives from carbon registries, and funding program leaders, as well as representatives from key government agencies. The working group reflects broad regional and national interest in coastal blue carbon.
