Excerpt:

A recent report from McKinsey does a deep dive into the promise of blue carbon – citing the ability of mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrasses to sequester more carbon per hectare than terrestrial forests. The report also investigates the feasibility of seaweed aquaculture as a blue carbon offset strategy. Its case studies find that despite the potential of macroalgae carbon offsets, seaweed projects can’t be readily monetised on existing carbon markets. The underlying baselines and rich co-benefits are difficult to illustrate in current offset propositions.
