Summary
Six case study sites containing salt marsh or seagrass ecosystems (or both) were assessed for blue carbon project feasibility. Three sites are in the North Island (Te Repo Ki Pūkorokoro in the Firth of Thames, Wainui Repo Whenua in Tauranga Harbour, and Pukehina/Waihi also in the Bay of Plenty), and three in the South Island (Farewell Spit, Waimeha Inlet, and Wairau Lagoon).
