Section 2

    Project Design

    This chapter outlines the foundational framework for designing and implementing projects aimed at reducing aquatic pollution through the collection and removal of ocean debris. The principles of project design outlined here align with the broader phases of a Carbontribe project, as described in our common methodology.

    The Carbontribe project cycle: conceptualization and onboarding, feasibility and design, implementation and execution, ongoing monitoring, monitoring and reporting, and issuance of carbon credit.
    Figure 1: Initial Phases of the Project Cycle

    Focusing on the initial stages of project development, specifically conceptualization and design (see Figure 1), our project design provides an in-depth overview of the key components of Carbontribe's framework for ocean debris projects. This methodology serves as a foundational guide for applicants, ensuring their projects are accurately described, justified, and validated. To support this process, a comprehensive application form has been developed, aligning with our methodology and guidelines. This form, provided in a separate document, must be completed prior to project commencement to confirm eligibility and compliance with our standards.
