Bringing Coastal Blue Carbon Home: An opportunity assessment for the Snohomish estuary, Puget Sound Keeley O’Connell Senior Project Manager EarthCorps Seattle, WA

Project Goal and Steps Goal: Develop step-by-step methodology for quantifying baseline carbon in tidal wetlands and offset value from wetland restoration Describe landscape setting from historic and greenhouse gas emission change estimates Conduct soil carbon sampling SLR assessment overlay with restoration scenario  Demonstrate the potential of coastal blue carbon for achieving estuary restoration and protection goals

Why the Snohomish? Offers a continuum of wetland types Strong restoration potential with ongoing and proposed projects Significant body of data - SLR scenarios, land-use changes, historic data, site specific restoration plans

Snohomish estuary Historic conditions 3,950 ha tidal marshes Logged Diked and drained by 1930’s

Snohomish estuary Current conditions 4,749 ha of drained wetlands 29% of wetland loss in Puget Sound 1,353 ha of restoration planned
