UVic study finds seafloor could play major role in climate change mitigation
- A new study by UVic postdoctoral fellow Graham Epstein suggests that marine protected areas could help preserve seabed carbon storage to combat climate change.
- The study estimates that Canada's existing marine protected area network covers only 11 percent of the carbon stored in the seafloor down to 2,500 metres.
- The study identifies 274 priority areas for future research and protection, including key locations in British Columbia and the Atlantic.
- Industrial activities threaten to release stored carbon, contributing to climate change, according to Susanna Fuller of Oceans North.
