The cheapest carbon in the Mediterranean is the meadow still standing. Nobody can sell protection as carbon, because nobody has the survey data to prove what would have been lost.
Neya has already written seagrass into its own solution set, and it runs a mangrove project in Madagascar three hundred kilometres from the largest community-led blue carbon project in the world. The model works. It has never been built in the Mediterranean.
The math on replanting, why provenance is the blocker, the fishermen and students who close it, and what Neya buys.
What the crew sees while running an assigned line on the real Pollica seabed, and the coast filling in behind them. Fuel, the net, a booked tour and the afternoon breeze all come out of the same day. Bathymetry and meadow are measured; sea state and quality are modelled.
What a fleet of local boats costs to run, and how much coast it covers per season.
The living map of the Cilento coast: meadow extent, dead matte, stress, and live weather.
Prepared for Sara Roversi's first call with Neya. Figures from the ARTEMIS Interreg Euro-MED investment analysis, November 2025, unless marked otherwise. sean@islandlab.dev
