New research suggests giant kelp could inspire innovative climate solutions

New research reveals the microscopic machinery that helps giant kelp turn sunlight into energy, providing inspiration for innovative new climate solutions. The study, published in Nature Communications, mapped one of the tiny antenna-like structures kelp uses for photosynthesis.

10/ 🌊 The mangroves didn’t bounce back from a single dramatic intervention. They bounced back because pressure eased, policy worked, and resilient ecosystems did what they do. That’s the story we need more of. #OceanEconomics #BlueCarbon #NatureBasedSolutions #MangroveForests #SolutionsJournalism

$41.7M invested in restoring Mozambique’s mangroves and wetlands Projected return 14X! That’s $537.5M in flood protection, fisheries, & food security for coastal communities hit hardest by cyclones RT if you agree nature is the most undervalued asset on 🌍 IISD10/25 #BlueCarbon #ClimateFinance

In 1999, a local spotted a tiny patch of eelgrass thought extinct for 70 years. UVA & @[email protected] started reseeding. Today: 10,000+ acres restored — now the foundation for the world’s first verified seagrass blue carbon credit project. 📎 LTER / Nature Conservancy #BlueCarbon #OceanRestoration

Every hectare of mangrove restored protects coastlines, sequesters carbon 5–10x faster than forest, and boosts fishing income for communities who depend on it. One investment. Four simultaneous returns. #BlueCarbon
