  • The maintenance of existing activities, ecosystems or resources that promote decarbonisation, such as marine habitat preservation activities (eg, new Blue Carbon projects);

  • New marine activities that contribute to global decarbonisation, such as marine energy (including offshore wind, wave energy, tidal energy, ocean current energy, osmotic energy etc.) or marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR).
