We also built capacity to assess blue carbon stores by verifying a rapid long plot assessment method for citizen science use against traditional methods and found that the method is 3 times faster, equally accurate, and can be used widely.
With a vision for sustainability, this program built Indigenous blue carbon management capacity. Jabalbina Aboriginal Corporation indigenous land and sea rangers provided support and assisted with data collection throughout the program. They will undertake future blue carbon monitoring to support, protect and enhance Daintree River mangrove carbon stocks with support from Earthwatch.
