One of the critical, unsolved scientific questions of our time is how the ocean impacts climate change. The seascape is the ultimate sink for carbon emissions and, in a time of climate emergency, could be a vital ally in efforts to slow runaway planetary warming.
Blue Marine Foundation, the University of Exeter and Convex Insurance Group Limited have partnered on an ambitious, five-year global research programme: The Convex Seascape Survey.
The programme gathers a pioneering collaboration of world-leading experts working to quantify and understand blue carbon stored in the coastal ocean floor. It will deliver new, reliable, open-source data which will educate, inspire and enable informed decisions on ocean use, to harness the power of them sea in the fight against climate change.
