Blueshift was contracted by James Cook University (JCU) to provide technical advisory consulting services on the first meadow-scale seagrass restoration project in tropical Australia. This project will restore two key seagrass areas in the Wet Tropics region of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. In doing so, this project aims to establish a range of regionally appropriate seagrass restoration techniques and assess the impacts to seagrass blue carbon and the return of fisheries functions in the restored seagrass habitat. This project is one of the first recipients of BHP's blue carbon grant program aimed at driving the development of the Australian blue carbon market.
