Blue carbon refers to the carbon captured and stored by coastal and marine ecosystems. This concept specifically encompasses carbon sequestration in coastal wetlands with vegetation cover, such as seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, and salt marshes. The long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) in these ecosystems’ carbon pools is increasingly recognized as a nature-based solution for combating climate change. The services provided by coastal ecosystems, however, are not limited to

Blue carbon is the term given to the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere by certain plants and ecosystems in oceans and coastal areas. This system helps combat climate change. Who Produces Blue Carbon? Certain specialized marine and coastal plants store blue carbon: -Seagrasses (plants that live underwater) -Mangrove forests (trees found along tropical coastlines) -Salt marshes (wetlands near the sea) These plants absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthes
