The Blue Carbon Initiative

The Blue Carbon Initiative is an international effort aimed at protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems like mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrasses. These habitats play a vital role in capturing and storing carbon dioxide, which helps combat climate change. By preserving these areas, the initiative not only supports biodiversity and improves coastal resilience but also enhances local communities' livelihoods. Through collaboration among governments, NGOs, and scientists, the initiative promotes sustainable management practices to ensure these valuable ecosystems remain healthy and effective at sequestering carbon long-term.
