Seagrass Blue Carbon

coPIs: Travis Courtney, Catherine Hernández Rodrigez

Funded by EcoEléctrica Outreach Programs

We are quantifying seagrass productivity, biogeochemical variability, pH buffering, and blue carbon uptake at contrasting sites in La Parguera Natural Reserve as part of Hernández Rodriguez’s MS thesis. This project is also a part of the broader Caribbean Carbon Accounting in Seagrass project led by Florida International University and funded by The Nature Conservancy.
