Earth's oceans and coastal ecosystems are a major sink for carbon storage, known as blue carbon. Sequestration of carbon is vitally important in the fight against climate change as it 'locks away' this molecule, alleviating ...
Indonesia's mangroves and seagrass are one of the key to global climate mitigation efforts, as they store around 17% of the world's "blue carbon".
