Our Scientific Methodology
Our measurement, reporting, and verification protocol combines deep soil core sampling with high-resolution satellite mapping to track carbon sequestration over decades.
Soil Core Analysis
Canopy Mapping
Community Patrols
We extract deep sediment cores to measure organic carbon density down to three meters, establishing an empirical baseline.
Using multi-spectral drone imagery, we map canopy volume and track biomass growth across the entire coastal landscape.
Local fishers conduct ground-truthing and physical monitoring, ensuring data collection is continuous and community-owned.
The Carbon Stocks
Empirical data from a monitoring cycle will demonstrates the exceptional sequestration capacity of the Ketapang mangrove ecosystem.
Key Sequestration Indicators
Sediment Carbon
Verified measurements across our active restoration zones:
Unlike terrestrial forests, over ninety percent of mangrove carbon is stored in the deep, waterlogged soil. This sediment carbon remains locked away for centuries if the ecosystem remains undisturbed.
Mg C/ha (measure)
To measure an average total ecosystem carbon stock across the locations landscape.
x Rate (measure)
Our research shall be conducted in partnership with leading Indonesian research institution or international partnership research center or universities.
Sequestration rate be compared to typical tropical upland rainforests.
