At the edge of a Scottish sea loch, a Eurasian otter crouches on kelp-covered rock. Kelp forests are among the coastal and marine ecosystems known for their “blue” carbon, as they capture and store vast quantities of carbon, making them a key tool for solving the climate crisis. In positive news this week, the United Kingdom became the first nation in the world to commit to mapping its entire blue carbon stores, paving the way for better understanding and protection of these habitats!
