Assess the quality of carbon credits from a blue carbon project as part of an independent due diligence process.
Biodiversity significance assessment for blue carbon projects
Uses four Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) targets: halting ecosystem loss, restoring, conserving, and reducing extinction.
Checking sediment supply and hydrological condition
NDWI and classification from Sentinel-2 data assess sediment supply and hydrological conditions (2019-2023), monitoring water content changes.
Mangrove Extent
Tracks mangrove extent changes using Global Mangrove Watch (1996-2020) and Dynamic World (2021-present), with flooded vegetation as a proxy.
Potential Restorable Area
Displays mangrove deforestation and degradation (1996-2013) using Global Mangrove Watch and Tropical Moist Forest data. Estimates potential restorable mangrove areas.
Sea Surface Temperature
Displays sea surface temperature (SST), which can inhibit or reduce mangrove seedling growth during dispersal due to extreme temperatures.
Water Quality Indicators
Uses Sentinel-2 data to calculate Chlorophyll Index (NDCI) for chlorophyll concentration and Turbidity Index (NDTI) to assess water clarity and quality.
