*Hot spots and hot moments in blue carbon science*

Tuesday, June 28, 12 pm
WHRC Harbourton Auditorium
149 Woods Hole Road, Falmouth, MA
Five years ago, the marine science world gave birth to a new term: "blue
carbon," which was created to describe the enormous and newly recognized
potential of the oceans to sequester carbon and help slow climate change.

Early estimates of the power of blue carbon were staggering - they
indicated that blue carbon habitats (sea grasses, salt marshes, mangroves)
ranked among the most efficient and permanent sinks on the planet, far
exceeding key terrestrial carbon sinks (e.g. rainforests). However, the
capacity of coastal ecosystems to sequester carbon is threatened globally
by coastal development and climate change. Resource managers are in urgent
need of guidance to manage coasts to minimize carbon losses and maximize
gains.

This talk will 1) provide an overview of research into the distribution,
value, and dynamics of blue carbon; 2) showcase emerging research into the
development of decision tools to predict how different management plans
will affect the persistence of coastal ecosystems and their capacity to
sequester carbon; and 3) discuss the current status of blue carbon offset
initiatives within Australia.

*Dr. Macreadie will be in Woods Hole until July 8. If you would like to
meet individually with him, please contact Jonathan Sanderman
(jsanderman at whrc.org <jsanderman at whrc.org>).*

* WHRC is an independent research institute where scientists investigate
the causes and effects of climate change to identify and implement
opportunities for conservation, restoration and economic development around
the globe. In June 2016, WHRC was ranked as the top independent climate
change think tank in the world for the third year in a row. For more
