# West Africa Blue - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `westafricablue.org` - **Founded:** 2021 - **Employees:** 51+ - **Location:** Freetown, Western Area, Sierra Leone - **Company kind:** PRIVATELY HELD ## Description West Africa Blue is a community-centric brand that focuses on the development of blue carbon projects in West Africa. Their mission is to preserve, restore, and sustainably manage coastal ecosystems in the region, with a strong emphasis on working hand-in-hand with local communities. They finance their projects through the issuance of high-quality carbon credits. As one of the first large-scale blue carbon projects in Africa, West Africa Blue aims to set the standard for what it means to be community-centric, financially sustainable, and of high quality. They believe that collaboration and sharing with stakeholders and market participants will help catalyze the market in the region and globally. The West Africa coastline's ecosystem is vibrant but under threat. The mangrove ecosystems found there sequester up to four times more organic carbon than tropical forests and are home to critically endangered species. However, these fragile mangrove ecosystems are disappearing rapidly, leading to a loss of ecosystem services that support local communities. West Africa Blue values community involvement and works closely with local communities, governments, and traditional leaders. They aim to bring everyone together to unlock the necessary resources for both local and global progress. Operating with integrity and transparency is of utmost importance to them, and they strive to share their learnings and successful approaches to catalyze the blue carbon market not just in West Africa but beyond as well. In summary, West Africa Blue is a brand dedicated to safeguarding coastal ecosystems in West Africa through community partnerships, integrity, collaboration, and inclusive practices. ## Industries - 🏭 Waste Water and Environmental _(under Heavy Industry and Engineering)_ - 🏭 Heavy Industry and Engineering ## Links - [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/west-africa-blue) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idT2GJfpNG/w/900/h/173/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1779335051954) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idT2GJfpNG/w/400/h/400/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1779335052115) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Prussian Blue | #003e57 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | | Lotus | #7c3b3c | accent | ## Fonts - Inter — asset _(google)_ - var(--meta-font-font-family) — asset _(custom)_ ## Imagery - banner _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idT2GJfpNG/w/1128/h/191/idZ8Sp3cn2.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1779335052240) --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
