ESA-European Coastal Blue Carbon

Projects

To support the effectiveness of policies aimed at conserving and restoring blue carbon coastal ecosystems (BCEs) in the face of imminent climate change threats, there is an urgent need for greater knowledge and tools capable of accurately estimating and monitoring changes in BCE carbon stocks over large areas and over time.

Group of Aquatic Macrophyte Ecology

The Group of Aquatic Macrophyte Ecology (GAME), of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), is headquartered at the Blanes Centre for Advanced Studies (CEAB). Our activity focuses on the study of the ecology of coastal ecosystems dominated by marine macrophytes during the Holocene. The ultimate goal is to provide knowledge and solutions to help their conservation and thereby contribute to climate change mitigation while also supporting economic growth and societal well-being.
