The #BlueCarbon framing that permeates the Dialogue is a very limited way to understand complex & vital ocean ecosystems. Narrow definitions risk driving the exploitation of oceans for commercial purposes rather than their protection, particularly when linked to #CarbonMarkets.

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

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
