Guiding principles for delivering coastal wetland carbon projects.

for delivering coastal wetland carbon projects Coastal “blue carbon” ecosystems including mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows are an important part of the global carbon cycle. They provide a wide range of ecosystem services that underpin coastal livelihoods and support adaptation to climate change, including habitat and food chain support for many species of commercial fish, nutrient recycling, shoreline stabilization, storm protection and flood attenuation. These ecosystem services provide a basis for development of interventions that conserve and restore coastal wetlands for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
