Dashboard/Methodology/Blue Carbon PDD

Blue Carbon PDD

PDD for coastal blue-carbon ecosystems (mangrove / seagrass / saltmarsh). DeepSeek reviews biomass, soil carbon and tidal accounting.

Project Design Document — Blue Carbon

Comprehensive PDD. Fill in project context, ground-truthing field data, carbon accounting, and risk. DeepSeek AI analyzes the declared data and stores the result for later use in a Verification Form.

How It Works

Owner fills project design & carbon figures

DeepSeek AI analyzes the declared data

Result saved to the carbon database

Attach the PDD to a Verification Form

PDD adds a second assessment input alongside satellite data

Stored Securely

Your PDD and its DeepSeek analysis are stored per-owner in the carbon database, ready to be bound to any verification you submit.
