What is Blue Carbon
Blue carbon vegetation sequesters carbon far more effectively (perhaps up to 100 times faster) and more permanently than terrestrial forests. Funds for restoration and protection of these vegetation types could be garnered through blue carbon credits, however, more research is needed to help quantify the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere and stored by blue carbon.
