Coastal Blue Carbon

Coastal Blue Carbon refers to the carbon stored in coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses. These environments absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change. By capturing and storing carbon, they also provide vital habitats for marine life, protect coastlines from erosion, and support local economies through fisheries and tourism. Preserving and restoring these ecosystems is crucial for enhancing their carbon storage capacity while simultaneously benefiting biodiversity and community resilience against climate impacts.
