Coastal ecosystems are vital for planetary health, offering essential services like food and weather protection while serving as powerful carbon sinks. Discover WRI's insights on blue carbon, its role in combating climate change and biodiversity loss, and how we can better protect these critical systems. For an in-depth look at blue carbon as a climate solution, check out this review article by Prof. Peter Macreadie from Deakin University, National Champion for the 1st edition of the Frontiers Planet Prize. https://lnkd.in/d79ZRwqz #BlueCarbon #CoastalEcosystems #PlanetaryHealth
Coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrass meadows and salt marshes, provide critical services to people who live near them like: 🐟Sustaining local diets & fishing industries ⛈️Protecting homes and infrastructure from erosion and storm damage But what exactly is blue carbon? And how can countries and communities better protect these ecosystems and leverage their vast potential? Find out▶️ https://bit.ly/3rIa6My #MangroveDay #mangroves #trees #environment #bluecarbon
