Coastal wetlands cover less than 1% of the ocean yet store over 50% of the seabed's rich carbon reserves. The Blue Carbon Explorer can be used to prioritize restoration and conservation of mangroves and other coastal wetlands in the Caribbean, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea by analyzing changes in biomass and extent, canopy height, protection status, and more.
Reefs are critical for tourism, coastal protection, food supply, and millions of jobs in The Caribbean. The Nature Conservancy and partners have modeled coral climate refugia across the region in order to guide investments in coral restoration and conservation to the reefs most likely to survive the impacts of climate change. This tool provides access to map products derived from hyperspectral aerial imagery that, when combined, can be used to identify optimal locations for outplanting coral.
La Resiliencia Costera es una herramienta para la toma de decisiones que provee a planificadores locales, provinciales y nacionales un proceso en etapas para guiar decisiones que reducen los riesgos ecológicos y socio-económicos de daños costeros. Este portal contiene capas ecológicas, modelos de aumento de nivel del mar y vulnerabilidad costera e indicadores de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica y ambiental para guiar la preparación para desastres y la planificación costera.
