Blue Carbon
Posted on: Tue 23 Mar 2021
Carbon is black right? Well not all of it. ‘Blue Carbon’ refers to carbon dioxide that is locked away in our marine environments – particularly in seagrass, coral reefs and mangroves. A recent report has found that world heritage sites around Australia, such as the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo, have locked away billions of tonnes of carbon. Barometer’s Barry Mitchell spoke to Dr Oscar Serrano, marine ecologist and research fellow at Edith Cowan University in WA.
