Professor Sabine Dittmann and her team from Flinders University worked together with Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation, Leed Construction, DEW and the Limestone Coast Landscape Board on a local site being cleared for wetland restoration. This is a unique opportunity for field work by the blue and teal carbon research team to measure, weigh and 3D scan vegetation of different size and age for its carbon storage potential.
# blue carbon is carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems.
# teal carbon is carbon stored in freshwater and wetland ecosystems.
