Restored eelgrass can earn verified blue carbon credits. Walk through the real VM0033 methodology and the Virginia case that proved it could be done.

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a true flowering plant whose meadows fringe kelp forests worldwide: biology, wildlife, carbon and how meadows are restored.
Dr. Mara Ellison ·
Kelp is an alga; seagrass is a flowering plant. How the ocean's two great habitats differ in biology, range, carbon storage and the ways we restore them.
Dr. Theo Nakamura ·
Seagrass meadows bury carbon in sediments for centuries to millennia. How the biology works, what is at risk, and where seagrass credits stand today.
Dr. Theo Nakamura ·
How seagrass restoration earns carbon credits: the methodologies that exist, how sediment carbon is measured, permanence risks, and what buyers should ask.

Western Port, Victoria's second bay, pairs Australia's southern mangroves with vast seagrass flats, million-strong shorebird migrations and tide-borne kelp.
Dr. Mara Ellison ·
Most blue carbon sits underwater in soil, not in leaves. Why sediment carbon dominates mangrove and seagrass accounting — and what that means for kelp.
Priya Raman ·
Mangroves, salt marshes, seagrasses and kelp all store coastal carbon — differently. An honest comparison of stocks, rates, permanence, MRV readiness and co-benefits.

A coastal atlas guide to Gulf St Vincent: Adelaide's shallow warm gulf of kelp reefs, giant seagrass meadows, seadragons and a hard-won clean-up.
Dr. Mara Ellison ·
A plain-language guide to blue carbon ecosystems, why they store carbon so well, where kelp fits (and doesn't), and what the concept means for policy.
