This course is expected to cover practical approaches to measuring, reporting, and verifying blue carbon, including field sampling, laboratory analysis, and data quality considerations. It will likely introduce commonly used methods, strengths and limitations, and emerging tools used in blue carbon assessments. Content is indicative and subject to refinement.
Coming soon
This free course will be available through the Blue Carbon Kenya Hub, a national learning and resource centre on blue carbon. The Hub brings together training, data, and storytelling on the value of coastal ecosystems like mangroves and seagrasses, and is designed for practitioners, county and national officers, researchers, students, community groups, NGOs and private sector actors.
The Blue Carbon Kenya Hub is a key deliverable of the Blue Carbon component of the Strengthening Sustainable Blue Food Systems (SBFS) in Coastal Kenya programme (2025–2028). This programme supports Kenyan institutions led by KMFRI and partners to strengthen sustainable blue food systems in the Shimoni-Vanga region. It aims to enhance fisheries, mariculture, blue carbon conservation and equitable coastal development, and inform marine spatial planning.
The Hub is purpose-built to outlive the programme as a long-term national platform for learning, practice and knowledge exchange. Blue Carbon Kenya Hub website coming soon: https://bckhub.kmfri.go.ke
