Why the critical role of coastal and marine ecosystems are overlooked in global climate change discussions ?

• 2. BLUE CARBON : THE GAPS

11

• 1. Lack of scientific basis due to complexity of

coastal-marine ecosystems.

• 2. Status of the ecosystems as common property

resources

• 3. Limited national-international attentions

and available funding.

The Reasons :

• 4. COMMUNICATION and OUTREACH STRATEGY on

BLUE CARBON To create an effective communication and

• utreach to educate and engage the public

to help increase their understanding and cares on Blue Carbon Ecosystems.
