When it comes to helping in the fight against climate change, reducing your carbon footprint is a regularly suggested tactic both for individuals and organizations.
Researchers at the UNC Institute of Marine Sciences are helping the University do just that with a blue carbon habitat in Morehead City. This human-made habitat collects and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and serves as a carbon emission offset for Carolina, which is aiming to reach carbon neutrality by 2040.
Headed by Professor Antonio Rodriguez, the project involved the creation of a saltmarsh with the intent of capturing carbon and depositing it into the marsh’s sediment along the shoreline near IMS. Initially created in 2014 with 3,500 bushels of shell and 2,000 bundles of marsh grass, the habitat has been tracked for the past seven years to gauge its impact.
