C-BLUES will target the EU Mission’s four “Lighthouse Areas”: the Atlantic-Arctic, the Baltic-North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Danube-Black Sea. Through collaboration with Chinese partners, the coast of China is also included. 

The project will engage with the scientific community, climate and coastal policy makers and the wider civil society to disseminate the knowledge generated, raise awareness of blue carbon ecoystems and build capacity for blue carbon research inclusion. 

C-BLUES will effectively impact national and international climate policy work so that blue carbon ecosystems more prominently are included in reporting and management actions.
