Blue carbon, the process of storing carbon dioxide in coastal and marine ecosystems, has the potential to remove more carbon than trees. Seagrasses cover less than 0.2% of the ocean floor yet store about 10% of the carbon buried in the oceans annually. The podcast explores the economic value of seagrasses, the importance of coastal ecosystems in carbon sequestration, and the challenges and solutions in investing and restoring mangroves as blue carbon ecosystems.

The Potential of Blue Carbon
Blue Carbon refers to carbon dioxide stored in coastal and marine ecosystems, which could be a valuable tool in stabilizing the climate. Seagrasses, mangroves, and salt marshes have the capacity to capture and store large amounts of carbon, even more than terrestrial forests. Restoring and preserving these ecosystems can significantly increase carbon storage and help mitigate climate change. Investment and support for blue carbon projects are crucial, especially in developing countries along the equator, where many opportunities for blue carbon markets exist.
