What and Where is Blue Carbon?

The Blue Carbon Story Coastal ecosystems are at great risk –Significant store of “blue carbon” –Many other ecosystem services Risks are driven by economic pressures to convert (aquaculture, agriculture, development,…) Global climate mitigation efforts could change economic incentives for protection –Payments for reducing conversion and restoration –Similar to forests (REDD+) –Not yet in UNFCCC system Initial test of concept –Science: how much carbon can be lost/restored over time –Economics: at what cost –Policy: can current policy frameworks adapt? New ones needed?

…Yield High Soil-Carbon Stocks 5 tCO 2 e per Hectare, Global Averages For Comparison:

Loss rates are high

7 What May Be Eligible for Crediting? Potential Credit SourceTime PeriodEcosystems Avoided Loss of Sequestration FluxPerpetuitySeagrasses Tidal Salt Marshes Mangroves Avoided Emissions from Soil CarbonSeveral Years to Decades Seagrasses Tidal Salt Marshes Mangroves Avoided Emissions from Biomass (REDD)ImmediateMangroves

Can the Economics Work? 8 Market Value of Carbon Cost of Protection (Direct and Opportunity Costs)

The Economics May Work in Some Cases 9 Potential Carbon-Credit Values Cost of Protection For Comparison: Opportunity Costs TBD Opportunity Costs for Shrimp Farming (others TBD) Values Vary by Location, Destruction Method and Economic Activity

Economic Case Study: Mangroves and Shrimp Farms

11 What Next? Estimate stocks, emission rates and protection costs under a wider range of conditions
