Understanding Arctic Blue Carbon

Blue carbon ecosystems such as salt marsh, seagrass and kelp forests can provide valuable habitat for wildlife and play an important role in the carbon cycle. A better understanding of the current quantitative and qualitative state of blue carbon ecosystems in the Canadian Arctic is key to moving research, policy, legislation and stewardship forward. This workshop will provide a forum for discussion on blue carbon ecosystems and carbon cycling among communities, Rights Holder Organizations, knowledge holders and academia. Outputs from the workshop will include a workshop report and recommendations for future research and stewardship projects. All are welcome.
