Reef Credit Snapshot
Over the past three quarters, prices have shown stability where Reef Credits issued under the Fertiliser Management method were valued at $100 per credit.
Eco-Markets Australia, as the independent administrator for the Reef Credit Scheme, continues to play a crucial role in overseeing the scheme and managing the registry. The registry tracks approved projects, verified outcomes, and facilitates the issuance, transfer, and retirement of Reef Credits. While Eco-Markets Australia facilitates these processes, it does not participate in the commercial transactions between buyers and sellers of Reef Credits or set credit pricing.
