This course is expected to introduce practical data and mapping workflows for blue carbon and coastal ecosystems, including spatial data, basic analysis, and visualisation. It may combine hands-on exercises with discussion of how maps and data support decision-making. Tools and examples are provisional and may change.
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
