Elucidation of Blue Carbon Dynamics & Assessment of Ecosystem Services based on New Methodologies and Framework
Elucidation of Blue Carbon Dynamics & Assessment of Ecosystem Services based on New Methodologies and Framework
Coastal-marine ecosystems play an important role in carbon sequestration and storage thus, also known as “Blue Carbon” ecosystems. This project aims to evaluate and predict the functions and dynamics of these blue carbon ecosystems for the capture and sequestration of carbon. Innovative and integrated monitoring/modeling systems are being developed and comprehensive assessments for these ecosystems are being carried out. Furthermore, a “Core-and-Network” system has been built for sustainable nation-wide network-based monitoring and associated human resource development to which this is now known as the “Blue Carbon Network” (BCnet).

BlueCARES aims to establish conservation actions through the development of a Blue Carbon Strategy. The Blue Carbon Strategy is based on the comprehensive assessment of blue carbon ecosystem services through nation-wide monitoring and change detection. These assessments, together with socioeconomic data, will be used by predictive models to select the best policy options in properly conserving blue carbon.
