Coastal Blue Carbon- What is it and how is NOAA engaged?

OneNOAA Science Seminar Series

Title: Coastal Blue Carbon – What is it and how is NOAA engaged?

Sponsor: NOAA Central Library (library.seminars@noaa.gov)

Abstract: Salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrass beds are incredibly efficient at capturing and storing large quantities of carbon — which is referred to as coastal blue carbon. The National Ocean Service (NOS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) work together to identify synergies and opportunities for collaboration, and to leverage knowledge and resources on coastal blue carbon. This webinar will feature the cross line office Coastal Blue Carbon clarifying what coastal blue carbon is, describing NOAA's unique role in science, measurement, national and international policy, and management associated with carbon storage and sequestration in coastal blue carbon habitats.
