Integrating megafauna into blue carbon strategies: dugongs could enhance seagrass carbon storageMay 2026

by ACC Admin | Jun 6, 2026 | 2026, Resources, Technical / Scientific

Coastal seagrass ecosystems occupy a small fraction of the global ocean yet make disproportionately large contributions to carbon capture and storage. In addition, they are increasingly promoted as blue carbon solutions within nationally determined contributions...

The combined impact of fisheries and climate change on future carbon sequestration by oceanic macrofaunaMay 2025

by ACC Admin | May 7, 2025 | 2025, Peer Reviewed Scientific Paper, Resources, Technical / Scientific

Although the role of marine macrofauna in the ocean carbon cycle is increasingly understood, the cumulative impacts of fisheries and climate change on this pathway remain overlooked. Here, using a marine ecosystem model, we estimate that each degree of warming reduces...
