Navigating the voluntary carbon market can feel overwhelming — especially when it comes to choosing the right standard for your blue carbon initiative. Whether you’re advancing a mangrove restoration project, conserving seagrass beds, or looking to align with buyer expectations and revenue strategies, the choice of standard matters deeply.
Join us for an in-depth session that breaks down how major carbon standards differ, what drives costs and timelines, how buyer demand shapes pricing and due diligence, and how to think about co-benefits like biodiversity and community outcomes.

What we’ll cover:
- How major standards differ on eligibility, additionality, leakage, permanence, baselines, and monitoring–reporting–verification (MRV), with a specific look at how these factors apply to mangrove restoration vs conservation projects
- What really drives project timelines, costs, and risk across the entire project lifecycle
- How purchaser demand for removals (restoration) vs avoidance (conservation) shows up in pricing signals, due diligence, and standard selection
- How buyers and financiers perceive credits across standards — what that means for your revenue strategy and long-term project viability
- When and how to prioritize co-benefits such as biodiversity, community outcomes, and equity — and how these influence standard choice
