Abstract

Coastal vegetated ecosystems, such as salt marshes, seagrass beds, mangrove, and kelp forests, grow on less than one percent of the ocean and coastal area, but contribute a significant portion of the natural carbon sequestration in the seabed, as well as many other ecosystem services. Plans to expand these valuable coastal habitats to enhance their natural carbon dioxide uptake sound promising. But how realistic are they really and in what ways can coastal ecosystems be expanded in a targeted way? The research mission CDRmare provides answers and ideas for solutions
