Did you know that coastal ecosystems, particularly salt marshes and eelgrass meadows, have an impressive capacity to take up and store CO₂ (carbon dioxide), a major greenhouse gas and driver of climate change? These “blue carbon” sinks can hold up to 5 times the amount of carbon absorbed by forests of similar size! One hectare (the size of 2 football fields) of salt marsh may contain the same amount of carbon produced by 488 cars in a year.
Find out more about these unique ecosystems and how scientists are working to reveal their true worth. #ParksCanadaConservation
