Blue Carbon Initiative

The Blue Carbon Initiative focuses on protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses because they naturally absorb and store large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. These "blue" ecosystems play a vital role in mitigating climate change by capturing greenhouse gases and helping improve water quality, support biodiversity, and protect coastal communities from erosion and flooding. The initiative aims to promote their conservation and sustainable use, recognizing their significant contribution to global carbon storage and climate resilience.
