Blue Carbon
The UK is the first country to map and estimate the blue carbon stored in its seabed habitats. The Wildlife Trusts, WWF-UK and RSPB have released a new report sharing the groundbreaking research, conducted on their behalf by the Scottish Association of Marine Science. As a result of the research, the three environmental charities are calling for action to protect the important marine habitats including saltmarsh, kelp forests, biogenic reefs and mud that lock up these carbon stores.
