Funded through the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), the Pacific Northwest Regional Blue Carbon Calculator (Calculator) enables users to calculate estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals over 1 to 100-year timeframes resulting from specific land management actions, including:
-
Tidal wetland restoration, conservation, and enhancement
-
Tidal wetland excavation and filling
-
Tidal wetland diking and draining
-
Tidal wetland impoundment
Results from the Calculator are designed to be used by restoration practitioners, land managers 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. Note that the Calculator relies on blue carbon data mainly from Oregon and Washington estuaries, so it may provide less-regionally relevant results if used for projects in northern California or southern British Columbia estuaries.
