Blue carbon refers to carbon dioxide that is absorbed from the atmosphere and stored in the ocean. “Blue” refers to the watery nature of this storage.
To help move things forward, in 2021, NOAA announced the launch of the NOAA Blue Carbon Inventory Project, whose goal is to support the long-term sustainable management of coastal blue-carbon ecosystems and to assist partner countries in incorporating blue-carbon ecosystems into their inventories of emissions sources and sinks and their plans to reduce their carbon footprints and adapt to climate change. Funded by the U.S.
The flip side of that tremendous storage capacity is that when these natural areas are cleared, drained, or degraded, they can return huge pulses of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. After investigating the carbon emissions released by different types of landscape changes, one team of scientistsAlthough tidal marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses occupy only a thin coastal fringe, they play a disproportionally large role in land-use carbon gas emissions.
Coastal ecosystems critical to capturing carbon provide other benefits that have long been recognized by ecologists. Coastal environments provide habitat for fish, reptiles, mammals, birds, and a variety of invertebrate organisms. In some of the world’s poorest countries, blue carbon ecosystems support subsistence livelihoods like fishing. In wealthier countries, they enhance the productivity of commercial fisheries.
