Most efforts to address carbon emissions focus on land-based solutions such as conserving or replanting forests. However, marine life may be unlikely heroes in our fight against climate change and in avoiding the major global disasters warned of in the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).To raise awareness about the exciting role ocean life plays combatting climate change, a Fish Carbon short video has been produced by; UN Environment/GRID-Arendal and Blue Climate Solutions, a project of The Ocean Foundation, with support from the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI), Norwegian Government and The Curtis & Edith Munson Foundation. These partners have also produced an Oceanic Blue Carbon story map, which illustrates the various fish carbon mechanisms and the latest scientific research on the subject.
