Validation and registration

Once a Project Proponent has identified a site to implement a Reef Credit Project, selected an appropriate Methodology, and is satisfied that they meet all necessary rules and requirements of the Reef Credit Standard, they must apply to validate and register the Project with the Secretariat.

Project Proponents must have an active account on the Registry prior to submitting a Project for Validation and registration.

The Secretariat will validate the Project against the Reef Credit Standard and the appropriate Methodology to ensure that the Project Proponent has complied with all relevant rules and requirements.

If the Project is compliant the Secretariat will notify the Project Proponent and register the Project on the Registry.

Verification

To provide assurance that Pollutant reductions are real and correctly estimated, all Projects must undergo independent Verification by professional Verifiers approved by the Secretariat.

Each Reef Credit project undergoes independent verification process that ensures the integrity of the Reef Credit Scheme.

Eco-Markets Australia has a list of approved Verifiers below, that are able to assess the project against the rules and requirements of the Reef Credit Scheme and the applied methodology.
