Co-chair of #OOSC @jpgattuso.bsky.social address:

"Without science we risk losing our way" - science, policy and publics need to work together for action

"You will not be bored!"

Fantastic efforts to bring OOSC to reality Jean-Pierre, thank you!

Slide showing key features promoting blue carbon systems in non-classical blue carbon ecosystems.

We need to reconsider what is a #BlueCarbon #ecosystem! #MudFlats #CorallineAlgae, #Sediments and parts of #Coral #Reefs store significant organic #carbon.
