Objectives
The vegetated habitats such as seagrasses of seas form earth's blue carbon sinks and account for more than 50% of all carbon storage in ocean sediments. This action aims at preservation of seagrasses via blue carbon management tools to ensure that they are protected, their degradation is prevented, and they are allowed to be maintained in a satisfactory state of conservation, in line with the Strategic Action Plan for the Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation of the Black Sea.
