“Blue carbon” is the carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems. These ecosystems include everything from mangroves to seagrass beds and salt marshes. The World Bank's first-of-its-kind blue ...

According to the marine chemist, the study could help to improve modeling of the "blue carbon" storage potential of the widespread tropical and subtropical seagrass meadows. "However, further ...

The name of the project, ZOBLUC, stands for “Zostera marina as a Blue Carbon Sink in the Baltic Sea” – Zostera marina being the scientific name for seagrass. The project is funded by the ...

On average, these quantities are smaller, but they still lie within the range of carbon stored beneath mangroves and seagrass meadows—ecosystems where blue carbon credits are already being issued. As ...

Celebrating International Women and Girls in Science Day, February 11, 2025An all-women science team is playing a key role in ...

"Blue forests" -- mangroves, seagrass meadows, saltmarshes, and seaweeds -- are habitat multitaskers. They benefit communities, wildlife and our climate. Mangroves, seagrasses and saltmarshes can ...

From the deck of a small blue-and-white ... headed the World Seagrass Association. “You see declines in water quality. You see nutrient-cycling stop. You see carbon being released back into ...

PADI divers surveying a healthy seagrass population PADI, a global diving organization, has made “blue carbon” ecosystems like seagrass central to its Blueprint for Ocean Action.

But scientists have estimated the world’s seagrass stocks are declining by about 7% per year. For millennia, Earth’s natural systems kept carbon levels balanced in the environment. Industrial ...

From tiny seeds come big results: replanting seagrass meadows that help fish, protect coastlines, and absorb climate-heating ...

Both teams have sustainability programs that are among the most developed in the NFL. From waste diversion and renewable ...
