In this video, we explore the incredible world of Blue Carbon and how it can help us mitigate the effects of climate change. Blue Carbon refers to the carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal marshes. These often-overlooked ecosystems provide critical habitats for marine biodiversity and play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. However, these ecosystems are at risk due to human activities like coastal development, pollution, overfishing, and biodiversity loss. Destruction of these ecosystems releases significant amounts of carbon back into the atmosphere and exacerbates the effects of climate change. But there is hope! Conservation and restoration efforts can make a difference, protecting Blue Carbon and creating a more sustainable future for our planet. By preserving these ecosystems, we can safeguard marine biodiversity, support local communities, and mitigate climate change all at once. Join us on this journey to discover the power of Blue Carbon and how we can work together to create a brighter future for our planet. — For more about Blue Carbon and how it affects the climate, check out this article on our website: https://www.edf.org/bluecarbon — Vision 2030: https://www.edf.org/vision-2030 — Follow EDF: Facebook: https://www.edf.org/facebook Instagram: https://www.edf.org/instagram Twitter: https://www.edf.org/twitter LinkedIn: https://www.edf.org/linkedin TikTok: https://www.edf.org/tiktok — #bluecarbon #climatechange #ocean
