Australia

We have completed an initial site selection evaluation process over 150 potential blue and teal carbon sites. This involved initial desktop work, analysing satellite and LiDAR data and in-field reconnaissance. We have shortlisted and selected several project sites that have large-scale potential for nature-based solution and/or habitat creation.
