PRESERVING HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, TO KEEP ANIMALS HEALTHY, AND PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE LONG TERM
FUCOBI supporters are making the world a healthier place for everone, and your gift today can help. You can be confident that your contribution to FUCOBI will go straight to preserver healthier environments, animals and protect human health —by iInvestigating the presence of heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotic residues in humans, animals and ecosystems, carring out environmental education activities, and much more.
Giving as little as $25 can be helpful for our students and voluntiers in our work with the environment Together, we're making the world a better place for all beings. Please, give what you can today. |

The international scientific community is increasingly recognizing the role of natural systems in climate-change mitigation. While forests have historically been the primary focus of such efforts, coastal wetlands – particularly seagrasses, tidal marshes, and mangroves – are now considered important and effective long-term carbon sinks. However, some members of the coastal and marine policy and management community have been interested in expanding climate mitigation strategies to include other components within coastal and marine systems, such as coral reefs, phytoplankton, kelp forests, and marine fauna. We analyze the scientific evidence regarding whether these marine ecosystems and ecosystem components are viable long-term carbon sinks and whether they can be managed for climate mitigation. Our findings could assist decision makers and conservation practitioners in identifying which components of coastal and marine ecosystems should be prioritized in current climate mitigation strategies and policies.
