Mangroves, seagrasses and tidal marshes are amazing ecosystems but we must do more to protect them!
Our International Policy Framework for #BlueCarbon Ecosystems helps fit the policy puzzle together to scale up coastal protection: bit.ly/3Lf69G9

#MarineBiodiversity is crucial for maintaining healthy global ecosystems. Here's how:
🌊 Diverse marine ecosystems are more resilient & productive
🌱 #BlueCarbon ecosystems can help sequester excess CO2
🌍 A biodiverse ocean supports human health & livelihoods
#BiodiversityDay
Coastal blue carbon ecosystems are critical for biodiversity, food security, livelihoods and human wellbeing.🌊
Our International Policy Framework for Blue Carbon Ecosystems highlights opportunities for #BlueCarbon action in international policy.

A view of Majestic Mayon. In the foreground is the Manito Mangrove Eco Park. Imagine having a kayak ride visiting the mangroves, and then the cherry on top will be a kayak photo with Mayon in the background. #mangrovelovingpenguin #ManitoMangroveEcoPark #BlueCarbon ❤️🇵🇭
The Horizon Europe🇪🇺 C-BLUES project, in which #METUIMS is involved as a partner, was kicked off!
The opening meeting focused on advancing knowledge and understanding of #BlueCarbon while developing innovative methodologies for mapping, modeling, and enhancing capacity-building.
This #BiodiversityDay , we celebrate the rich tapestry of life in #BlueCarbon Ecosystems! We're excited to launch an interactive tool to discover #threatenedspecies in these areas. Ever wondered which reptile uses Queensland's mangroves? Spoiler: It’s the Littoral whiptail-skink🦎
Indonesia’s climate targets depend on peatland and mangrove ecosystems – we explain in our new PNASNews paper “Refining greenhouse gas emission factors for Indonesian peatlands and mangroves to meet ambitious climate targets” #bluecarbon #naturebasedsolution

🌿 Tidal wetlands, aligning with blue carbon’s characteristics, have a similar or larger potential for atmospheric carbon match and emission reductions than the currently considered #bluecarbon ecosystems.

🪸Marine biodiversity is an ally in the fight against the #ClimateCrisis .
The ocean is the world’s largest carbon sink, absorbing around ¼ of human CO2 emissions.
It is captured and stored in #BlueCarbon – ecosystems like mangroves, seagrass and kelp forests, as well as whales.
Preservation and restoration of #mangroves and tidal marshes is imperative to support livelihoods, coastal protection and biodiversity.

The #BlueCarbonActionPartnership is redefining the way #bluecarbon ecosystems integrate into a changing world. By championing local leadership, unlocking funding and supporting #naturebasedsolutions we can build an equitable future. Stay tuned! #BCAP
