Blue Carbon Explained 1

Blue forests made of marine plants and seaweeds protect our coasts, support biodiversity and capture carbon. Unfortunately, we already lost half of these important and fragile ecosystems worldwide. As humans move to coastal areas, habitat destruction and pollution increases.

Threatening blue forests. Good news is you can help find out which blue Forest are near you, support their conservation and spread the word.
