The world’s largest natural carbon sink on earth: The Ocean with Professor Bronwyn Gillanders

At the Environment Institute andÌýCentre for Energy Technology's public forum 'Meeting ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s Climate Change Targets: Price, Opportunity and Pathways', spoke on 'The world’s largest natural carbon sink on earth: The Ocean'.

Professor Gillanders is the Deputy Director, Environment Institute and a marine biologist from the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide. She is currently leading the climate action through blue carbon research at the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog. Did you know two thirds of the earths oxygen comes the ocean? Our coastal vegetated habitats such as mangrove forests etc – have been termed blue carbon habitats. They are extremely efficient at capturing and storing carbon and are therefore considered an important carbon ‘sink’ and a useful tool in combatting climate change. Watch her presentation below:
