Guest post: Mapping ‘blue-carbon wealth’ around the world

Posted on July 18, 2021 by groundswellbasscoast

Each tonne of CO2 taken up by these coastal ecosystems increases global inclusive wealth by an amount equal to the SCC and can be considered as a “blue-carbon wealth contribution”.

inevitably Australia has more than its fair share but sadly lacking research funding, presume Scumdoch will only see worth when it’s all cropped, harvested, processed and exported to bottom of Mariana Trench.

Posted on July 16, 2021 by groundswellbasscoast

Coalition’s Great Barrier Reef envoy also said Australia was a ‘victim of our own success’ when it came to coral bleaching

Must be getting this BS from Great Barrier Reef Foundation, the Wallies gifted $660Million rort by Scomo, 6 full time employees, little expertise, to distribute $ to real Reef R&D mobs, not competitive bid process, they only applied after being awarded! Federal ICAC needs ASAP.

Is there any way Entsch is the right man as Envoy for the Reef?
