"We assembled leading experts in the field to agree upon the top-ten pending questions in Blue Carbon science..."

Great overview of Blue Carbon and how coastal ecosystems remove carbon from the atmosphere.

"Similar to the role of coral reefs, oyster reefs provide a habitat for a diversity of organisms, including sponges, spiny seahorse and Critically Endangered European eels. They also provide protected nursery grounds for important juvenile fish species."

"Blue Carbon" is the carbon sequestered by marine and coastal ecosystems. This workshop aims to develop the capacity of participants to understand how blue carbon can be measured and utilized to promote conservation and restoration of coastal ecosystems.

"We estimate that 85% of oyster reefs have been lost globally. We identify many cost-effective solutions for conservation, restoration, and management... that could reverse these oyster losses and restore reef ecosystem services."

The European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) population has declined by 95% since the 1950s, and oysters are now extinct in some regions of Europe, such as the Wadden Sea along the coast of Germany.

Oyster habitats (reefs) are the most degraded habitats among coastal systems globally, and 99% have been lost in the last 150 years. Native Oyster Reef Restoration Ireland exists to bring some of them back.
