Blue carbon ecosystems, which are currently attracting attention as a new option for addressing climate change, are not only expected to serve as CO₂ sinks, but also to bring various benefits to people and the ocean through the conservation of coastal environments and fishery resources,
as well as the development of tourism and local economies.
