Mangroves are carbon-storing superstars, but once lost they are difficult to restore. An innovative Conservación Internacional Costa Rica effort to restore mangroves in Costa Rica’s Gulf of Nicoya could mean renewed hope for coastal ecosystems around the world. #EarthDay

My interview this week with nature: “The solution to the Great Barrier Reef’s bleaching problem is clear - Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Full stop.” Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is ‘transforming’ from repeated coral bleaching nature.com/articles/d4158…

Mangrove planting world records might look good on paper, but often do not work. Fantastic article from James Kairo, Chief Scientist of KMFRI nation.africa/kenya/health/n… Let’s have a world record for % survived, not number planted!

Mangrove forests aren’t only coastal buffers, nurseries for marine life, and vital food sources for coastal communities. They’re also one of earth’s most efficient carbon sinks, storing up to 4x more carbon per acre than terrestrial forests. Smithsonian Panama pew.org/4auXtoY

Lot of work in launching this next stage of the #MangroveBreakthrough; even more, exciting, work ahead. Mangroves can be a significant component of many countries’ efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change. Peter Thomson Julio Cordano Global Mangrove Alliance Save Our Mangroves Now!

#Seychelles will protect 100% of its seagrass and mangroves by 2030 under its #climate #NDC. It has 1,599 km2 of seagrass, equal to about 29,000 football fields, with 99.5% already in existing MPAs. They store 510,000 tCO2 per year, equal to Seychelles' energy sector #emissions.

#Seychelles a big step closer to delivering on its #climate pledge (NDC) to protect 100% of its seagrass and mangroves by 2030 #climatesolutions #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow

Mangroves and seagrass beds bolster shorelines, help to limit erosion, and provide nursery and breeding grounds for vital wildlife. Jamaica is among the latest countries seeing the benefits of coastal wetlands as nature-based solutions to climate change. pew.org/4dqNl2O

Here's a little thing I wrote. I happy to be contributing to work at home #Jamaica especially since I did my masters work on mangroves, seagrasses and coral reefs with UWI's Centre for Marine Sciences 👇👇👇
