What is the additionality of Bahamian seagrass carbon? Only conservation of threatened ecosystems or restoration of degraded ones is additional and thereby viable for carbon offsets
Our new Global Seagrass Watch paper, in which we quantify Bahamas-wide extent, #bluecarbon stocks&sequestration rates of #seagrasses using @CopernicusEU Sentinel-2, is now published in @FrontMarineSci.

#India must adopt #bluecarbon solutions if it intends to emerge as a global #climate leader. From Prasad Ashok Thakur & @labanyajena1 https://t.co/EaBQ9Nep9S
Does bottom trawling directly result in atmospheric emissions OR does it result in increased carbon in the water column and therefore diminished ability of surface waters to uptake carbon from the atmosphere?
“It is not clear that the UK has fully grasped the global urgency of researching and protecting potentially one of the largest carbon sinks on the planet, the seabed.” @CRHClover for @thetimes https://t.co/tKDcg1E9lT #climateawareness#bluecarbon
Very much looking forward to the panel discussion @ChathamHouse https://t.co/EbaIWJa86T tonight to celebrate @bbc Natural History Unit and Sir David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II @oceanunite
Here are some of the brightest and best initiatives that hope to safeguard our oceans’ future, and what we stand to lose if we fail to protect them @sciencefocus@helenscales@HeatherKoldewey @WCPA_Marine @WWF@GlobalFishWatch and more...

"The #ClimateChange impacts these communities face are extraordinary, and globally fisheries are being devastated. #BlueCarbon through local management is an unrealised value for these people."

Did you know marine life can help combat climate change through a process called oceanic blue carbon? Learn about #bluecarbon through this interactive story map: https://t.co/tihQdKzLBH
The krill poo #BlueCarbon sink - krill poo can lock carbon away from the atmosphere for long periods of time! (just like #FishCarbon & #WhaleCarbon), see: https://t.co/X5WK1thHIc
