Carbon removal at ocean scale must be developed alongside the communities whose livelihoods and cultures are connected to the waters where we operate. That is not a compliance requirement, but rather how Gigablue believes science should be done.

Create tangible local benefits
We prioritise local employment, procurement, and research partnerships in every region of operation.
Respect the right to say question
Communities have the right to assess our work, question, and critique. This challenge is key to our development and research.
Share the science openly
Research findings, trial data, and environmental assessments are shared with Indigenous communities and stakeholders as they evolve.
Engage before we deploy
Community conversations begin before permitting, not after.

Working with Ngāi Tahu in Aotearoa New Zealand
Local Partnership In Practice
When Gigablue identified the Great South Basin – approximately 200 km southeast of Dunedin – as an area of interest for field trials in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone, our first conversation was with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (TRoNT).
Ngāi Tahu are the principal iwi (tribe) of the South Island of New Zealand, and the Great South Basin is within their takiwā (tribal area). For them, the ocean is taonga, a treasured resource held in trust for future generations. Their Climate Change Strategy, He Rautaki mō te Huringa o te Āhuarangi, sets out an intergenerational vision: to become carbon neutral, restore taonga species and habitats, and secure the best possible future for their people. Gigablue's MCFS research reflected many of these priorities, but alignment had to be demonstrated, not assumed.
Through ongoing dialogue facilitated by Cherie Tirikatene and Ailsa Cain, on behalf of Gigablue, both who are Ngāi Tahu, TRoNT signalled support for trialling new carbon removal technologies within its takiwā on the condition that innovation, research, and monitoring remained central to the relationship. "This approach supports a future where marine stewardship is led by iwi, informed by both science and mātauranga Māori." – Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, October 2, 2025 TRoNT were clear that the research findings and data collected during Gigablue's field trials would be valuable to Te Rūnanga developing its own best practice and environmental stewardship. A future, as they described it, where marine stewardship is led by iwi, informed by both science and mātauranga Māori. Gigablue made a formal commitment: to act with integrity, transparency, and a duty of care in all operations within the Ngāi Tahu takiwā, and to keep Te Rūnanga informed of activities and progress throughout. That commitment is not a footnote. It is part of how our New Zealand trials are designed, reported, and reviewed.

We calculate net carbon removal using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that accounts for emissions from material sourcing, Carbon-Carrier Pod production, deployment, and supporting operations. Our calculations follow the requirements of Puro.earth’s MCFS Methodology and are undergoing review by the ISO-14040/44 and ISO-14064-2 standards.

Transparency also means being clear about what we know and sharing what we learn as we progress. We openly communicate our methods, results, and uncertainties as the science evolves, making the evidence behind our work accessible and traceable. Gigablue welcomes public feedback, which can be submitted here.
