Human activities in coastal landscapes also exert both direct and indirect pressures on blue carbon (McLeod et al., 2011). Rogers et al. (2019) accounted for this pressure using land-use mapping, with the premise being that natural landscapes are more compatible with storage, preservation, and generation of blue carbon, whilst intensive land-use activities are less compatible. They proposed that this approach partly accounts for socio-economic factors that influence blue carbon. In this study, 2017 land-use mapping was reclassified based on perceived present-day compatibility with blue carbon to generate a blue carbon compatibility (BCC) raster dataset.
