Blue carbon refers to the carbon captured by marine and coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows and salt marshes. These ecosystems essentially work as giant carbon sinks, sequestering vast amounts of carbon from our atmosphere and oceans that would otherwise contribute to global warming.

Phytoplankton (or algae) doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves but it is in fact responsible for producing 50% of the world’s oxygen. Just like land plants, these microscopic, ocean-dwelling plants use photosynthesis to grow and in turn play a vital role in the ‘nutrient cycle’ of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus.
