  Achieving the potential of Blue Carbon (BC) requires excellent communication with diverse audiences, in particular: 1) communities who live adjacent to, and often depend upon, BC ecosystems. 2) Investors and other potential supporters of BC work. 3) Policy makers and the broader public, who need to understand how BC can help achieve climate and biodiversity goals. We will target all three, using case studies that highlight community engagement, plain English guides for community groups to BC and the voluntary carbon market, investment and CSR briefs aligned with the latest legislation and corporate good practice and video on BC science. Materials will be freely available and illustrated with original artwork.
