Food Why Blue Carbon?
Blue Carbon is CO2 that is sequestered and stored in coastal and marine ecosystems, such as mangroves and salt marshes. These vital ecosystems, capture and stockpile large quantities of blue carbon in both the plants and the sediment beneath them. When terrestrial trees die, the carbon stored in trunks and branches will be released, however, as mangroves store most carbon in their soil and sediment, the carbon may stay put for millennia .
