CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global non-profit organization that manages the world's largest and only environmental disclosure system.
Today's landmark agreement specifically includes marine carbon removal, opening the possibility for seaweed farmers and other aquaculture activities to be eligible for voluntary certification.
Eligible projects include seafood processing, port infrastructure, workforce development and coastal regeneration, with dedicated backing available for small-scale fishers.
The seafood industry group says Norway’s new "environmental flexibility" scheme for aquaculture does not meet Parliament’s demand for a technology-neutral system.
