The project aims to develop a tailored solution and a roadmap for a Blue Carbon Strategy in the Adriatic-Ionian area, to raise social awareness about the role of these habitats in climate mitigation and secure transnational involvement in the long term.
These solutions will empower organizations to incorporate blue carbon ecosystems into their coastal policies effectively.
Habitat mapping and assessment of blue carbon stocks according to a standardized protocol for sampling, blue carbon stock assessment, and habitat mapping.
Main operational product of the project, combining scientific and technical data. A GIS-based tool that converts habitat maps of Posidonia oceanica into carbon estimates, combining satellite, UAS, and in-situ data.
A SMART-based policy framework promoting the inclusion of blue carbon in coastal planning and linking restoration to carbon markets across countries.
The framework emphasizes network establishment, transnational cllaboration, end-user capacity building, impact assessment & transferability, fueling the BLUEQ project's long-term legacy.
The second sampling expedition of the BLUEQ project was carried out from 17 to 20 November 2025 within the Plemmirio Marine Protected Area in Syracuse, Sicily.
The first sampling expedition of the BLUEQ project in Falasarna Bay (Crete) was successfully carried out between 18 and 24 October 2025.
