Blue carbon is carbon dioxide captured by the world’s oceans and coastal ecosystems. This carbon is stored in the form of biomass and sediments in mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows. Blue carbon is the most efficient but overlooked method of sequestering and storing carbon for the long term. Equally important, investments in blue carbon provide valuable ecosystem services and help improve the ability to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
