The National Blue Carbon Action Partnership (NBCAP) is prioritizing the restoration of mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes to enhance carbon capture and protect coastal communities. The initiative emphasizes moving from fragmented conservation efforts toward a synchronized governance framework led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). These nature-based solutions serve as critical tools for climate mitigation and coastal defense. By integrating biodiversity conservation with policy development, the partnership aims to scale blue carbon initiatives to combat extreme weather and reduce atmospheric carbon.
