USCA: Prioritizing NYS Coastal Wetlands for Resilience and Blue Carbon *
October 7, 2020 Webinar *
New York State through the DEC Office of Climate Change is working with the US Climate Alliance and researchers with Duke University and PlanIt Forward LLC to map and model blue carbon sequestration potential and resilience potential for coastal and estuarine wetlands, including the tidal wetlands in the Hudson River Estuary, Long Island and New York City and how that potential will be affected by sea level rise. The results of the USCA project is a step toward understanding the potential for storage/conservation of blue carbon for New York. This workshop was a way for key people representing the regions of New York included in the USCA project to learn of the results and is one step in moving blue carbon research and policy forward.
