- Rising seas could drown mangroves and release vast stores of carbon
Rising sea levels may drown mangroves, causing them to die and release stored carbon. This could transform coastal ecosystems from carbon sinks into carbon sources as their carbon-rich soils erode.

A new project aims to deploy specially designed floating saltmarshes in coastal waters to enhance coastal ecosystems. The initiative focuses on improving environmental resilience through innovative wetland restoration.
