We are continuously deploying Sea Caves with lots of empty seafloor ready to be turned into reef habitat!&#x20;

Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.

Level 1 additionality

Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.

Level 2a additionality

Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project must implement actions that are subject to barriers of implementation or accelerate deployment of technology or activities and carbon market incentives are essential in overcoming these barriers.

Level 3 additionality

Financial additionality II. The project is financially additional if it faces significant financial limitations that revenues from the sale of carbon credits mitigates or are revenues due to the sale of carbon credits are the only source of revenues. When carbon credit revenues are a precondition for the implementation of the project and/or carbon credit revenues are essential in maintaining the project operations and ongoing financial viability post-implementation, then they are considered to be financial additional II.

Level 4b additionality

Policy additionality. Implementation of actions may lie out of the scope of the host country's Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement and, therefore, not eligible for international transfer mechanism. When project implementation goes beyond its host country’s climate objectives and lies outside of the scope of its climate action strategy towards its NDCs, it is considered to be policy additional.

Level 5 additionality

Blue Carbon Project

ISO 14064-2

Increased access to a sustainable marine food supply and jobs reduce poverty, plus increase opportunity for business and exports. A sustainable local food supply also lends well to resilience against economic and environmental shock. 

End poverty in all its forms everywhere

SDG 1: End poverty

Increased local sustainable levels of marine protein directly reduce hunger and promote good nutrition as food alternatives to fish tend to be lower in nutritional value. Food security is also achieved with the supply chain beginning and ending locally. 

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

SDG 2: No Poverty

Many families rely on small scale fishing. We provide long term sustainable options through biogenic reef creation that allows work, economic stability, income and ocean health. Beautiful reefs will also allow for Eco-tourism.

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

True Blue Carbon based around SeaCave technology is the single most transformative and scalable blue carbon project scheme in the world. It can be scaled to large levels rapidly, requires no maintenance, reduces  land conflicts and Co2 from reduced slash and  burn, reduces fresh water use and is supported by millions globally. The Ocean is a tough place to operate, but Sea Caves are just as tough and last 500 years - sequestering carbon for five centuries. 

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

SDG 13: Climate Action

Sea Caves generate 1,000 Kgs of marine life per year. Sea Caves can convert empty seabed into thriving oasis of life that benefit man and nature alike. Sea Caves are a powerful tool to rapidly improve ocean health and marine abundance as it provides critical habitat for kelp, coral, fish, lobster, abalone, marine mammals and more. 

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

SDG 14: Life Below Water

Sea Cave®  True Blue Carbon® represents a multi-faceted  approach to atmospheric CO2 reduction and Blue Carbon by passively removing CO2 through macroalgae photosynthesis, dramatically reducing carbon emitting process associated with fishing behavior and calculating carbon stored in the reef biomass. Sea Cave®  True Blue Carbon® is the world’s first IP protected Blue Carbon. Sea Caves®  True Blue Carbon®   assures that  100 kilograms  of marine life is generated per carbon credit issued.
