Analysis

Sea Cave True Blue Carbon is a blue carbon removal project in Baja California with a project-specific baseline and a combined additionality test, but critical verification gaps persist: no VVB-confirmed additionality, no verified removal figures, and only a PDD in the evidence base. The project applies a 20% permanence uncertainty reduction and conducted FPIC, but the 0% leakage deduction for a marine algal system and the absence of a buffer pool leave material integrity questions unresolved.
