Blue Carbon Initiative is a coordinated, global program focused on mitigating climate change mainly through the conservation and restoration of most productive coastal/ marine ecosystems to provide essential ecosystem services, such as coastal protection from storms and nursery grounds for fish. They provide a wide range of ecosystem services that underpin coastal livelihoods and support adaptation to climate change, including habitat and food chain support for many species of commercial fish, nutrient recycling, shoreline stabilization, storm protection and flood attenuation. These ecosystem services provide a basis for development of interventions that conserve and restore coastal wetlands for climate change mitigation and adaptation. UNEP and CIFOR have launched the “Guiding principles for delivering coast wetland carbon projects”

Thanks for the information!

Hi Marlow,

I have a review paper that synthesizes carbon accumulation rates of salt marshes, including some examples from Canada.

Hope it helps!

Thanks Xiaoguang.
