Blue CArBON Condition Index And Tool For Fiji

Project Overview

The overarching goal of B-CABONI is to establish a pilot initiative to quantify the condition and stability of Fiji’s blue carbon pool.

B-CABONI aims to develop a robust monitoring tool capable of assessing the condition of a range of blue carbon ecosystems (mangroves forests and seagrass meadows) that is tailored to Fiji’s needs and requirements.

B-CABONI will provide mapping and carbon quantification capabilities that explore blue carbon reserves holistically rather than in isolation (i.e., mangrove forests and seagrass meadows mapped together). The data and knowledge generated will serve as a critical evidentiary foundation for monitoring Fiji’s blue carbon reserves. The tool and maps developed under B-CABONI have the potential for broader applicability across Small Island Development States (SIDS).
