Yes, integrity of #BlueCarbon science is important. Classic case of undue influence by conservation priorities? I wonder of other aspects of blue carbon ar similarly compromised? 🤔

Some people will be pleased about the results of this study, while others won't. However, at the end of the day, it demonstrates the need for robust science and for more research on this hot topic #ClimateChange #fishing #BlueCarbon 🐟

Our principal environmental economist Tiziana co-chairing a session on ocean-based #carbon dioxide removal. What's that, another new term for #bluecarbon and carbon capture and storage? Seems I'm out of touch, every day's a schoolday 📖

There are 3⃣3⃣* mentions of BLUE CARBON in the latest @IPCC_CH report. Terminology matters! This is a big deal for the #bluecarbon community. Here are a few of my blue carbon takeaways... 🧵(1/6) ➡️ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessm… *excluding the 5⃣3⃣ mentions part of citations

Blue carbon credits, transacted some months ago, are trading at prices higher than this. May the price continue towards the true value for #naturebased removals. #bluecarbon @SeascapeCI @SilvestrumCA
