Project Detail

Key Carbon has established a strategic partnership with Maris to exclusively design, develop and implement blue carbon projects in Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Angola, and the DRC, targeting highly degraded areas. Maris’ pan-African expertise offers significant scalability, enabling Key Carbon to implement projects across multiple jurisdictions in parallel. Maris will benefit from Key Carbon’s established blue carbon ecosystem and knowledge of emerging best practices.

Impact Highlights:

Impact Highlights:

• Blue Carbon restoration projects are up to 10 times more productive at storing carbon per hectare than mature tropical forests, at a third of the planting cost. These factors lead to maximum climate and economic impacts resulting in these credits trading at a substantial premium to other ARR projects
• Mangrove wetland coastal ecosystems are also critical natural habitats providing many vital services. These include the filtration and purification of seawater, improving the health of nearby coral reefs and seagrass meadows. They reduce erosion, provide a cooling effect, are home to rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity, and act as a strong coastal barrier against extreme weather, protecting the inland
• Our partnership with Maris will also ensure that a significant share of the carbon credits produced will be allocated to project area communities and governments. This will enable the implementation of effective sustainable development projects to boost local economic growth and generate substantial systemic livelihood benefits.
