Analysis

The Sea of Change mangrove restoration project in Myanmar is registered and VVB-verified, but the verification report (August 2025) identifies over 30 material findings that raise serious concerns about the accuracy of carbon stock estimates, including a significantly overestimated soil carbon rate, an allometric equation used outside its valid range, and failure to discount pre-existing trees. The 0% leakage deduction is inconsistent with identified displacement pathways, and the non-permanence risk report dates from 2017. While a 17% buffer pool and VVB-confirmed additionality provide some structural safeguards, the volume and severity of unresolved issues substantially undermine confidence in the integrity of the claimed removals.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    Source: methodology

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
