#postdoc opportunities at the Smithsonian Institution as part of the Life on a Sustainable Planet initiative. Potential theme: #mangroves A world without mangroves? Effects of climate change on mangrove range contractions in the Anthropocene: fellowships.si.edu/sites/default/…

Seaweed forests fix large amounts of carbon. Much debate exists however on whether some of that carbon ends up sequestered, and sequestration can lead to tangible climate change mitigation. We synthesized the literature to figure this out... 🧵doi.org/10.1111/brv.12… 📸I. Garrido

Understanding Kelp as #bluecarbon - excellent new paper lead by Albert Pessarrodona released today. conservation.org/press-releases…

“A new study found that seaweed forests may play a bigger role in fighting climate change than previously thought — absorbing as much climate-warming carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But not all seaweed forests are created equal.” conservation.org/blog/new-study…

Mangrove forests are one of the world’s best coastal defenses against hurricanes. And as hurricanes intensify from the effects of climate change, saving mangroves means saving lives when strong storms hit. #MangroveDay #NaturalClimateSolutions

Vital mangrove forests are being lost at a rate faster than any other type of forest. In Dulce, a mother helps her daughter Dulce adapt as the impact of mangrove loss is felt in their own Colombian coastal community. #MangroveDay conservation.org/stories/dulce

The first paper from our Arnhold climate change + MPA collaboration w/ Conservation Intl is out! To improve MPA management in the face of climate change, we reviewed the extent to which mgmt plans employ key principles for climate resilience & adaptive mgmt conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Check out our new paper Marine Policy where we update the state of the science regarding existing blue carbon pathways and explore emerging blue carbon opportunities. A great collaborative effort led by Jennifer Howard BlueCarbonInitiative Conservation Intl sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What a fun week in Singapore with the BlueCarbonInitiative Scientific Working Group! Exciting to see everyone working together to advance the science and implementation of blue carbon

🌿 Announcing Blue Carbon, a groundbreaking documentary about the climate-saving power of coastal ecosystems. Featuring Jayda G, with music by RZA! & Seu Jorge, directed by Nicolas Brown. Coming soon to NDR.de , CANAL+ , CNNFilms . #BlueCarbonFilm #BlueCarbon 🌊🎬

Can seaweed farming lead to climate change mitigation?🌿🌊Seaweed farming is increasingly considered as an important strategy for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). But how much carbon do seaweed farms currently remove? Let's unravel the findings! 🧵👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks NPR Julia Simon for highlighting the importance of mangroves, and the risks they face in the future due to climate change Coverage of recent Red List of Ecosystems report that involved assessments by 250 mangrove experts. With quotes from Fernanda Adame npr.org/2024/05/22/125…

Global #seaweed forests export 56 million tonnes of carbon (15% of their production) to the deep ocean annually. These biodiverse #blueforests are overlooked in the global ocean #carbon budget. We provide national estimates of this C #sink rdcu.be/dIKup Nature Geoscience
