There seems to be a huge number of miscellaneous projects for a specific type of environmental restoration or some other activity that is specifically aimed at carbon sequestration. For example, seagrass restoration alone has a plethora(1,2,3). Is there a decent list of these projects? I found this cool list of CCS projects(4), but that’s different.
If such a list exists, I have another question: Is there an objective way to compare their effectiveness?

A friend of mine at openaircollective.cc made this map that lists various sites. I think it is too early in the technological development of these various approaches to make meaningful comparisons of effectiveness. The area of “MRV” - Measuring, Reporting and Verification - is in its infancy; the methods for measuring effectiveness are still being developed. For some processes it is pretty simple, and for others very complex.
