The benefits of enhancing CO2 uptake and storage in ocean and coastal ecosystems, such as mangrove forests and seagrass meadows, could include improved marine ecosystems and coastal resilience. The challenges could include regulatory uncertainty in international waters, as well as monitoring, reporting, ...
Biodiversity refers tothe full variety of life on Earth, from bacteria and plants to animals and entire ecosystems, such as mangrove forests or coral reefs. A wide range of flourishing flora and fauna species indicates an ecosystem’s overall health. Because biodiversity is critical to a number ...

Some coastal cities are planning ahead. A recent development ofextensive parksin Boston, US, aims to protect the urban shoreline infrastructure from flooding. And a 2009studyrevealed the effectiveness of mangrove planting incoastal areasof India to protect the shoreline and reduce cyclone damage. But...

(incl. savannas and shrublands), and mangrove habitats as described using the terrestrial ecoregion classification system [57]. We recognize that inundated landscapes (e.g. marshes, peatlands, swamps, bogs, etc.…) have tremendous carbon storage potential, particularly belowground [58,59]. ...
Simply put, biodiversity refers to the incredibly rich variety of life on Earth. The word itself is a contraction of “biological diversity” and refers to every living thing on the planet. It encompasses all bacteria, insects, plants, animals, humans an
as the Arafura Sea’s 15-foot tides inundate the coast of southwest New Guinea, an invisible swelling that daily slides into this flat swamp and pushes hard against great outflowing rivers. It is a world of satiny, knee-deep mud and mangrove swamps stretching inland, a great hydroponic terra...
Some techniques are low-tech, such as mass tree planting. Others seek to supercharge natural processes, like seeding the oceans with nutrients to increase the growth of carbon-storing marine life, or spreading crushed rock on land to cause chemical reactions that capture carbon from the air. ...
