Markets to Watch: Blue Carbon

From Duke University Fuqua School of Business:

Forests, soils, and oceans play a critical role in stabilizing the climate because they naturally remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Projects that conserve and restore these ecosystems are becoming strategic investments as companies and governments seek opportunities to invest in these “nature-based solutions” to
climate change. In particular, coastal and marine carbon projects—or “blue carbon” projects—are attracting interest because these ecosystems have the potential to store five times as much carbon per square foot as terrestrial ecosystems.
