| 0:30.1 | This is Climate 1. I'm Greg Dalton. Blue Carbon is a new name for carbon dioxide stored in coastal and marine |
| 0:36.9 | ecosystems. |
| 0:38.3 | Through the use of carbon markets, it could be a tool for stabilizing the climate that sustains our lives and economy. |
| 0:44.3 | If you were to use the average price of carbon, which is about $60, the total value of carbon services of seagrasses over $2 trillion. Many of the opportunities for blue carbon markets are located in developing countries along the equator. |
| 1:00.0 | If I am sitting on seagrass, I can sell the carbon sequestration services of my seagrass. |
| 1:06.0 | Funding those carbon sinks reduces global emissions and benefits communities on the ground too. |

| 1:47.2 | Coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes and mangroves have carbon capturing capacity that may |
| 1:52.9 | surpass that of terrestrial forests. Sea grasses, for example, currently cover less than 0.2% |
