Blue carbon is a term permaculturists should begin to look for and understand. In fact it is one of my many goals when I encourage people to convert their swimming pools<\/a> to a natural filtration system. Google it after reading a quick summary below.<\/p>\n

The best to everyone<\/p>\n

\nBy Dick Kempka It\u2019s likely most people have never heard the term blue carbon. When carbon is stored in coastal wetland ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass, it becomes known as blue carbon. Amazingly, blue carbon ecosystems remove four times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, per acre, than forests. This means healthy coastal wetlands are considered a carbon sink, and restored wetlands are a largely unrealized solution to the problem of increasing worldwide carbon dioxide levels. In fact, on a per-acre basis, coastal habitat restoration and conservation can provide among the greatest climate benefits compared to forest or all other land-use projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We shouldn’t necessarily focus on saltwater wetlands either. Freshwater wetlands are similar and California has lost an estimated 99% of them. We have destroyed the very things that could have buffered climate change. We need to get them back as quickly as possible. And in addition we should be protecting our existing old growth wetlands<\/a> far far better than we are.<\/p>\n

Best to you all!
