Seaweed farming has emerged as a potential Blue Carbon strategy, yet empirical estimates of carbon burial from such farms remain lacking in the literature.
About Blue Carbon:
Blue Carbon refers to organic carbon captured and stored by the ocean in vegetated coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, saltmarshes, or seagrass meadows.
“Blue” refers to the watery nature of this storage.
The vast majority of blue carbon is carbon dioxide that has dissolved directly into the ocean.
Much smaller amounts are stored in underwater sediments, coastal vegetation, and soils; carbon-containing molecules, such as DNA and proteins; and ocean life from whales to phytoplankton.
These ecosystems store massive amounts of carbon, making them an integral part of global efforts to combat climate change.
They cover just 2% of the total ocean surface but account for 50% of the ocean’s carbon absorption.
