This track will explore the intricate processes of carbon cycling within coastal ecosystems, emphasizing the roles of mangroves, seagrasses, and saltmarshes. Researchers are invited to present findings on how these habitats contribute to carbon sequestration and overall ecosystem health.

This session will focus on the relationship between marine biodiversity and blue carbon systems, highlighting the importance of diverse species in enhancing carbon storage. Presentations will examine how biodiversity influences ecosystem resilience and functionality in coastal environments.

This track will investigate the various ecosystem services provided by blue carbon habitats, including water filtration, habitat provision, and coastal protection. Contributions will address the socio-economic implications of these services for local communities and global sustainability.

This session will discuss innovative strategies for climate mitigation through the enhancement of blue carbon systems. Researchers will share insights on policy frameworks, restoration techniques, and community engagement that support carbon sequestration efforts.

This track will highlight methodologies and technologies for monitoring carbon stocks in coastal ecosystems. Presentations will cover remote sensing, field measurements, and modeling approaches to assess carbon flux and storage.

This session will focus on the restoration of coastal habitats such as mangroves, seagrasses, and saltmarshes, and their potential for enhancing carbon sequestration. Case studies and best practices will be shared to inform future restoration projects.
