Development and implementation of blue carbon-based activities now requires strategic policy and incentive mechanisms to achieve coastal conservation, restoration and sustainable use, and provide disincentives to drain or damage coastal systems.
This report describes IUCN knowledge products focusing on those which incorporate the spatial distribution of biodiversity information on the land and in the sea. Such knowledge is used to underpin conservation, restoration, marine and land use planning and natural resource management.
Integrating biodiversity considerations into siting and design decisions for hotel and resort developments is important not only for the continued viability and conservation of the ecosystems, but also for the long-term financial success of the hotels and resorts.
