Blue Carbon

 🌊 What Is Blue Carbon? 🌱

Blue carbon refers to the organic carbon captured and stored by ocean and coastal ecosystems such as:

✅ Mangrove forests 🌳

✅ Salt marshes 🌿

✅ Seagrass meadows 🌾

Why Is Blue Carbon Important?

🔹 Mitigates Climate Change – These ecosystems absorb and store large amounts of CO₂.

🔹 Protects Biodiversity – Provides habitat for marine life.

🔹 Prevents Coastal Erosion – Strengthens shorelines against rising sea levels.

🧪 How Does Nuclear Science Help?

Nuclear techniques help study and protect blue carbon ecosystems by tracking carbon movement and analyzing ecosystem health.

💡 Protecting blue carbon ecosystems is a natural solution to fighting climate change! 🌍💙
