🌊 Unveiling Truths in Blue Carbon: Last Week's Webinar Recap 🌊 Thank you to all who joined our spirited discussion, "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗥𝗩 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀?" We tackled pressing misconceptions with expert clarity: 🎙 Johann Wah and Maria Claudia Diazgranados debunked common myths around mangrove carbon sequestration, emphasizing the necessity of local expertise and holistic MRV approaches that consider ecological, social, and technological dimensions. For example, in our highlighted clip, Johann Wah explains why satellite data, while useful, is insufficient alone for accurate MRV, underscoring the need for field data to capture the full picture. Our experts provided answers and a broader understanding of the complexities of blue carbon projects. Did you miss the live discussion?

"Because the living ocean is so vital to our survival and because it is under such tremendous threat, it needs us to speak on its behalf." — Carl Safina, ecologist and author. Our coastlines, blue carbon ecosystems, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses are some of the most powerful tools against climate change. These ecosystems protect our shores from erosion and storms and 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟬𝘅 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 than terrestrial forests, making them vital carbon sinks. Yet, these ecosystems are under threat. Coastal development, pollution, and climate change erode our natural defenses and release stored carbon into the atmosphere. By protecting and restoring our coastlines, we’re investing in a sustainable future and preserving the power of blue carbon to help mitigate climate change.   If you’re interested in supporting conservation efforts, contact us at Fair Carbon to learn how to make an impact.  🌍💙 #BlueCarbon #CoastalConservation #FairCarbon
