ALT #Bluecarbon ecosystems play a critical role in climate mitigation and adaptation! How? 👉For climate mitigation: #Bluecarbon ecosystems play an important role in global carbon sequestration. They transform CO2 into biomass through photosynthesis and by accumulating vast stocks of carbon in their sediments. Organic carbon in sediment is then trapped and locked in the soils where the plants grow. 👉For climate adaptation: #Bluecarbon ecosystems play a significant role in protecting coasts and climate change adaptation. They help reduce the coastal wave energy, reducing the impacts of storms and other extreme weather events. ❗However, #Bluecarbon ecosystems are among the most threatened habitats in the world, so we need to protect and restore these ecosystems and natural carbon stocks!
