This guidance draws together experience in carbon project and coastal wetland project development to demonstrate best practice principles in enacting blue carbon interventions. These interventions range from policy activities leading to improved management of coastal resources recognizing climate change mitigation along with other ecosystem service, to projects supported by carbon finance. This guidance document is divided into four main chapters. Guidance on blue carbon project planning and implementation is supported by evidence and lessons for the developers to consider. Relevant case studies encompassing di erent project types are summarized to demonstrate possible approaches.
