While nothing will slow climate change faster than reducing greenhouse gas emissions, boosting blue carbon—the carbon captured by seagrasses and salt marshes—can make a difference. pew.org/3WQo5Ma?utm_ca… 📸 Cameron Davidson

Mangroves and seagrass beds bolster shorelines, help to limit erosion, and provide nursery and breeding grounds for vital wildlife. Jamaica is among the latest countries seeing the benefits of coastal wetlands as nature-based solutions to climate change. pew.org/4dqNl2O

#Seychelles a big step closer to delivering on its #climate pledge (NDC) to protect 100% of its seagrass and mangroves by 2030 #climatesolutions #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow

Seagrass of Seychelles' EEZ captures nearly same amount of CO2 as local energy emissions shar.es/aguzGu

#Seychelles will protect 100% of its seagrass and mangroves by 2030 under its #climate #NDC. It has 1,599 km2 of seagrass, equal to about 29,000 football fields, with 99.5% already in existing MPAs. They store 510,000 tCO2 per year, equal to Seychelles' energy sector #emissions.

Great reunion of some of the #BelizeBlueCarbon crew this week. Caught up with Dr @hkmorrissette in Belize city literally on the side of the road to chat about #mangroves. Shout out to @CZMAI_Belize @UBBZE @BelizeMangrove @SmithsonianEnv @WWF_MAR @pewenvironment and others


Lot of work in launching this next stage of the #MangroveBreakthrough; even more, exciting, work ahead. Mangroves can be a significant component of many countries’ efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change. @ThomsonFiji @jcordanos @Mangroves @MangrovesNow @BlueCarbon_BCI

Excited to be launching the new Mangrove Breakthrough NDC Task Force at UNFCCC #SB60 in Bonn today! Read more about the NDC Task Force here: pewtrusts.org/en/research-an… @pewenvironment @pewenvironment @Mangroves @hlcchampions @tom_hickey1 @CarlosECorreaE @IgnaceBeguin @LuzanGil

Mangrove forests aren’t only coastal buffers, nurseries for marine life, and vital food sources for coastal communities. They’re also one of earth’s most efficient carbon sinks, storing up to 4x more carbon per acre than terrestrial forests. @stri_panama pew.org/4auXtoY

Mangrove planting world records might look good on paper, but often do not work. Fantastic article from @james_kairo, Chief Scientist of @KmfriResearch nation.africa/kenya/health/n… Let’s have a world record for % survived, not number planted!
