Blue carbon is a relatively new issue, but the growth of initiatives and networks among stakeholders has gained momentum. Indonesia and other blue carbon countries need to join together to share their challenges and opportunities through various partnerships on this subject. Committed groups include the International Partnership for Blue Carbon (IPBC), Blue Carbon Scientific Initiative (BCI), Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) and Coral Triangle Center (CTC). Such a huge wave of momentum driven by a common agenda can only help to further blue carbon research and result in strong collaborations.
