Mother nature is one of the most powerful allies in helping reduce and store carbon-dioxide emissions.
Our coastal marshlands play a vital role in that process but are being threatened by erosion and sea level rise.
Blackburn’s goal is to create a thousand miles of living shoreline stretching from Orange County to Cameron County. He believes energy industry leaders can help with this effort in exchange for carbon credits.“We want to give companies the opportunity to help reduce their carbon footprint by contributing, by buying if you will, a mile, two miles, 10 miles of this living shoreline,” said Blackburn.
“We’re going to build oyster reefs to protect the wetlands and in the process keep carbon dioxide from being released,” said Blackburn. “To sustain coastal fisheries, to sustain coastal birds, to sustain all of those things we as people really enjoy,” said Lalise Mason with Scenic Galveston, Inc. and Texas Coastal Exchange.
