SIEAL Maps the Blue Carbon Beneath Kenya’s Mangroves
A JKUAT research lab in Nairobi uses satellite imagery, spaceborne LiDAR, underwater video, and machine learning to measure mangrove carbon storage and biodiversity.
Field notes
SIEAL’s workflow joins remote sensing with field and underwater evidence rather than treating blue-carbon measurement as a carbon-only exercise. The homepage names Mwache Creek in Mombasa as its primary field site and reports a preliminary estimate covering 2,890 hectares of mangrove forest. Its biodiversity work uses stereo-video transects and computer vision, while the stated Deep-BII extension targets ecosystems below 200 metres.
