Climate change is devastating the world’s oceans through rising sea levels, acidification, and loss of biodiversity. Sea the Change, an Italian startup, markets marine conservation projects as carbon offsets and seeks to expand into the US, UAE, and Latin America. This project researched competitors, legislation, industries, and projects to assess the potential for entering voluntary carbon markets in each region. We compiled a comprehensive report of expansion resources and provided it to Sea the Change to support their business’s growth.
