A multi-sensor seafloor classification approach quantifies carbon sequestration across seagrass, mangroves, and salt marsh ecosystems.

This product quantifies carbon sequestration potential for key habitats including seagrass, mangroves, and salt marshes in support of nature-based climate solutions and carbon credit verification. The Blue Carbon Mapping product  leverages a combination of hyperspectral and multispectral satellites and synthetic aperture radar to provide detailed information on habitat extent, density, composition and health. 

Value Proposition

Up-to date, scalable, carbon sequestration metrics derived from spaceborne sensors provide an unparalleled tool for Blue Carbon stakeholders.

Source Data
