The accredited Maine Coast Heritage Trust, with a mission to conserve and steward Maine’s coastal lands and islands for their renowned scenic beauty, ecological value, outdoor recreational opportunities, and contribution to community well-being, has developed a plan to protect and care for the state’s priority marshes, but they will not be able to do it alone....
This blog was co-written by guest blogger, Oswald Schmitz. Oswald is Professor of Ecology in the Yale School of the Environment. He is a former member of Ocean Conservancy’s Board of Directors and continues to serve in a science advisory capacity. His current research and conservation interests center on developing nature-based climate solutions. ...
It is hoped that this report will add an ocean voice and scientific substance to the urgent need to drastically cut anthropogenic carbon emissions coupled with a twin track approach of rebuilding and sustaining resilience in ocean ecosystems....
The HLP report offers the first comprehensive, integrated assessment of the mitigation potential of a suite of ocean-based activities: renewable energy, transport, food production, and ecosystems, and the potential future contribution from carbon storage if current concerns can be resolved ...
This article is part of a week-long special series on “tipping points”, where a changing climate could push parts of the Earth system into abrupt or irreversible change ...

This report describes the business case for the retention and minimisation of functional impacts to remaining wetland and grassland ecosystems in Alberta as cost-effective carbon management tools that also provide many additional ecosystem services that align with federal and provincial priorities. The case is also made for the restoration of historically lost ecosystems to restore lost carbon man...
A revised guide to supporting coastal wetland programs and projects using climate finance and other financial mechanisms. Coastal wetlands have also been recognized for their carbon storage and sequestration value, and conversely the emissions released when these ecosystems are degraded or destroyed, opening the door for wetland managers to explore funding sources directed towards climate mitigati...
Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal Program aims to support the development of an ocean CDR portfolio by supporting the scientific rigor that is required to vet each promising approach; build a community of actors to accelerate the solution-oriented discourse across scientists, entrepreneurs and policymakers; and steer the attention of decision makers to the ocean as a potential contributor to carbon dio...
