Canopy Blue: Kelp Restoration
10,000 kelp
This registry represents 10,000 kelp plants committed by Canopy Blue to be available for sale via the Everclime platform. This registry acts as a digital record on the blockchain between the project and customer.
Canopy Blue has partnered with The University of Western Australia on a project that aims to restore the 97,438 hectares of kelp forest lost during the 2011 marine heatwave, which caused 310,949 tonnes of carbon to be released into the atmosphere.
Each kelp unit in this registry represents one kelp plant grown at the Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre in Western Australia and planted at a restoration site.
Projects with Canopy Blue
Queensland HIR Carbon Project (CBMH)
This project establishes permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources (including rootstock and lignotubers) on land that was cleared of vegetation and where regrowth was suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project having commenced. This project is in the Quilpie local government area.
Canopy Blue Kelp Reforestation
Kelp forests are created by a large canopy forming brown seaweeds. These extensive coastal habitats provide valuable ecological and economic services to humans, including refuges for biodiversity, provision of food and products, and carbon storage.
Everclime has worked with Canopy Blue to bring Kelp Reforestation Impact Certificates to market.
