Coastal blue carbon focuses on rooted vegetation in the coastal zone, such as tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrasses. These ecosystems have high carbon burial rates on a per unit area basis and accumulate carbon in their soils and sediments. They provide many non-climatic benefits and can contribute to ecosystem-based adaptation. If degraded or lost, coastal blue carbon ecosystems are likely to release most of their carbon back to the atmosphere. There is current debate regarding the application of the blue carbon concept to other coastal and non-coastal processes and ecosystems, including the open ocean.’	+	[https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/climate-change-2021-the-physical-science-basis/annex-vii-glossary/058768DADC00B52E2ED3381D0259B4E0 Climate Change 2021 – The Physical Science Basis, Annex VII: Glossary], written by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and published by Cambridge University Press in 2023, defines blue carbon as: 'Biologically driven carbon fluxes and storage in marine systems that are amenable to management.
