Strong international research collaboration has produced a major new study on blue carbon—and the message is clear: we’re underusing it. Only ~20% of countries include it in reporting, yet it could offset up to 3% of emissions. Read more: https://ow.ly/WEQS50YxXS2 #EverToExcel

The workshop was organised with support from the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland (@mastscot.bsky.social) Marine Biogeochemistry Forum and from NASA.

International scientists gathered at the University of Strathclyde in March for a major international workshop led by the NERC BIO-Carbon programme. The event brought together 103 participants and around 70 online attendees, spanning modelling, observational, and experimental research communities!
