Canada still doesn't have a solid understanding of the role nearshore ecosystems can play in sinking greenhouse gas emissions to combat the climate crisis, says UVic researcher
Canada may have the longest total coastline in the world, but it still doesn't have a solid understanding of the role nearshore ecosystems can play in sinking greenhouse gas emissions to combat the climate crisis, marine ecologist Julia Baum says.
The three-year, $1.59-million Blue Carbon Canada collaborative project involves an interdisciplinary team of researchers and policy experts from conservation agencies and federal agencies, including Parks Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada . The project will determine where the country's blue carbon ecosystems exist, estimate their mitigation capacity, and project how they might wax or wane under different climate change and protection scenarios.
Blue carbon systems themselves, particularly kelp, are vulnerable to climate changes, Baum said, noting a series of recent marine heat waves badly impacted these marine forests. More research needs to be done to understand how much carbon they might capture or release during their life cycles, she said.
