This article, which appeared in Global Change Biology, discusses findings from a study that quantified total ecosystem carbon stocks of major tidal wetland types in the Pacific Northwest.

These tidal wetland carbon stocks and environmental driver data were collected as part of the 2016-2019 collaborative research Pacific Northwest Carbon Stocks and Blue Carbon Database Project.

This needs assessment of conservation policy stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest identified data needs and barriers for potential blue carbon project partners.

The Pacific Northwest Blue Carbon Working Group has been bringing together wetland managers, resource managers and decision makers in Washington and Oregon to advance coastal blue carbon since 2014.

This protocol is intended to enable wetland managers, conservationists, and other practitioners to monitor and estimate a wetland ’s long-term Total Phosphorus (TP) retention capacity threshold.

Coastal wetlands, including tidal wetlands, seagrass beds and mangroves, are some of the most economically important yet most vulnerable ecosystems globally.

This infographic illustrates the role wetlands can play in removing total phosphorus from the water and ultimately help improve water quality and reduce Harmful Algal Blooms in Lake Erie. The infographic describes how the researchers estimated long-term phosphorus retention capacity for different types of wetlands in Ohio and provides suggestions as to how different audiences might be able to contribute to this effort.

In collaboration with several local partners, Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve conducted a study aimed at understanding different wetlands' long-term capacity for removing nutrients. Together, they produced this story map that demonstrates the importance of wetland services, explains different types of wetlands and management priorities, and summarizes how the team estimated the long-term phosphorus retention capacities of a variety of wetland types based on samples collected from sites in Ohio, including the Lake Erie watershed.
