Regional carbon assessment is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality. However, challenges in data collection and the unverifiability of regional carbon emissions have led to a lack of verified assessments by recognized agencies. Most existing studies focused on carbon assessment of products, companies, or events, with little emphasis on verifying carbon emissions of regions, especially in coastal areas where significant economic activities occur, and large populations reside. This study attempts to conduct a regional carbon assessment for a coastal bay, Yanpu Bay, located in Zhejiang Province of China.
