Did you know that coastal habitats such as mangroves, salt marshes, and sea grasses store significant amounts of carbon and have great potential for greenhouse gas mitigation? Dazzle your colleagues and friends with your new-found knowledge of international and U.S. efforts to better understand and protect the use of these coastal habitats for carbon storage and sequestration. You’ll learn the answers to questions including:
- What do we know about how coastal habitats affect global carbon fluxes?
- How can "blue carbon" help protect coastal habitats?
- What are some of the hot national and international opportunities related to "blue carbon"?
- What is NOAA’s role with respect to “blue carbon”? How might blue carbon play a role in your office?
Remote access via webinar will be available. See the General Information section above for details.
