Pre-Feasibility Assessment for Blue Carbon Project in Tanga Region, Tanzania

Fauna & Flora (F&F) and their local Tanzanian partner Mwambao Coastal Community Network (Mwambao) are exploring the potential for a ‘blue carbon’ project focussed on local mangrove forest management in Tanzania’s Tanga region.

TLLG carried out a pre-feasibility assessment of the potential project to:

• Assess whether the location is suitable for such a project

• Identify possible activity types for the work,

• Decide on the most appropriate standard under which to certify credits, and

• Assess potential carbon benefits from mangrove protection and restoration activities.
