The BNC solution

In collaboration with local communities, researchers, and regional authorities, Infinity Blue has developed a locally driven monitoring campaign to assess New Ireland's mangrove ecosystems' resilience and carbon sequestration potential. This initiative centers on accurately measuring these mangroves' current extent and carbon storage capacity and identifying degradation rates. With these insights, local communities can set targeted conservation goals, protecting mangroves from the impacts of prospective industrial activities.

To bolster long-term sustainability, project leaders are also advancing a community-led coastal management plan that strengthens local governance over mangrove conservation. The initiative aims to establish a sustainable framework and includes the development of blue carbon credits, which create an economic incentive for preservation. Through benefit-sharing mechanisms, local communities and government bodies work together, establishing synergies that ensure continued conservation and the socioeconomic well-being of New Ireland Province.
