Description:Blue carbon refers to the carbon stored and sequestered in the soils, living vegetation, and other biotas in coastal and marine ecosystems. Managing these ecosystems provides an opportunity to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere. To help interested
stakeholders make sense of this evolving opportunity, The Nature Conservancy in Oregon compiled this document to examine the status of blue carbon science in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Specifically, this report summarizes regionally relevant scientific literature to help readers understand the basics of the blue carbon cycle and GHG mitigation, and the mechanisms of carbon sequestration and storage in Oregon’s coastal and marine ecosystems. With this document, we aim to highlight what is known and what remains unknown concerning coastal and marine blue carbon in Oregon and provide recommendations
for managing blue carbon ecosystems as natural climate solutions.
