“I think [blue carbon] got a lot of finance people excited because they see a business opportunity. But there’s more to the interest in blue carbon than just the numbers, thinking holistically about all of the different ecosystem services and co-benefits afforded by coastal habitats that go above and beyond carbon in many ways. It’s not just about climate change mitigation here. It’s also about adaptation.”
