    Episode #24: Blue Carbon and Cornwall
    Oct 8 2024

    In Cornwall, you’re never more than 20 miles from the sea – and beneath the waters are habitats which capture and store carbon, known ‘blue carbon’.

    A new series of reports – The Blue Carbon Mapping Project – estimate that 244 million tonnes of organic carbon are stored in just the top 10cm of the UK’s seabed sediments.

    Dan Barrios-O’Neill, Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s new Head of Marine, explains more about these findings and the importance of protecting marine habitats.
