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.

Projects

Building on projects already completed, members of the PNW Blue Carbon Working Group are undertaking a variety of research projects designed to address PNW coastal blue carbon research needs. 

Data

The Working Group is developing a database to share existing and new blue carbon from regional tidal wetlands such as marshes, seagrass meadows, and forested wetlands

ABOUT US
