Coastal ecosystems like saltmarshes, mangroves, and seagrass beds are vital for storing carbon, protecting biodiversity, and supporting livelihoods. Yet they remain under pressure from climate change and unsustainable practices. Bold research is urgently needed to unlock their potential and inform global carbon and biodiversity crediting systems.
This opportunity supports scientists and research teams to design and implement studies on saltmarsh agriculture, mangrove-positive aquaculture, and seagrass-based innovations. Priorities include assessing blue carbon benefits, filling knowledge gaps, contributing to life cycle assessments, and shaping methodologies for carbon and biodiversity credits. Early-career researchers are strongly encouraged to apply, with projects expected to generate open-access outputs that advance both immediate decisions and long-term global knowledge.
Selected proposals will receive substantial support for salaries, lab analysis, field supplies, and international travel, enabling rigorous research over a two-year period.
💡 Large-scale research funding available — up to six figures in USD for multi-year projects.
