A year-long pilot project is now underway to see how Isle of Man’s marine and coastal environment can play in the fight against climate change.
Globally, coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and seagrass meadows capture and store significant amounts of ‘blue carbon’ in the same way as trees and peatlands do on land.
The Blue Carbon project will be delivered by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA) in partnership with the National Oceanographic Centre (NOC) and Swansea University.
