Are mangroves and seagrasses the key to net emissions reduction?
The Mandarin, Other, 13/08/2021
The CSIRO and BHP are undertaking a new research program that will attempt to measure and quantify the net emissions reduction potential of blue carbon’ and restore Australia’s coastal ecosystems. The $3.3 million research into blue carbon’ potential, which includes mangroves, seagrasses and tidal marshes, also aims to show the value of other benefits these ecosystems offer coastal protection, fisheries and biodiversity.
