Description:‘Blue carbon’—the ability of multiple ocean and coastal ecosystems to sequester and store significant amounts of carbon—is increasingly highlighted as a nature-based climate solution with multiple co-benefits for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. Blue carbon has the potential to help countries pursue the goals of the Paris Agreement by providing a trackable mechanism for carbon sequestration and storage. In addition, a strong network of healthy coastal blue carbon ecosystems —seagrasses, mangroves, and salt marshes— can protect coastal communities from storms, waves, erosion, and flooding; protect biodiversity; and provide ecosystem services that support livelihoods, culture, food security, water quality, recreation, and tourism.
