Protecting and restoring the world’s largest seagrass meadow and blue carbon sink.
The Bahama Banks Blue Carbon project is a seagrass conservation and restoration project undertaken by the government of The Bahamas in partnership with Blue Carbon International. The Bahamas is home to the world's largest seagrass ecosystem, but mapping reveals that as much as 30% of the ecosystem was lost between 2010 and 2020.
