Monetising Ocean Services: Creating Value from Ecosystem Restoration
- What makes seafood ‘restorative’ and how do we create measurable standards for biodiversity gains, habitat recovery, and community benefits? Which indicators are scientifically credible, scalable, and trusted by markets and regulators?
- Which models can grow beyond experimental projects, and what infrastructure, technology, and capital flows are needed to make restorative aquaculture commercially viable?
- How can permitting, incentives, and community co-design frameworks enable, restorative aquaculture while ensuring local benefits?
- Why is ocean carbon sequestration undervalued compared to terrestrial systems, and which models (bivalves, seaweed, fallowing) can assign real financial value to blue natural capital?
