  • This paper conducted a priority-setting exercise to identify ten questions that define the future direction of blue carbon science. It highlights key gaps, emerging challenges and opportunities for advancing climate mitigation, ecosystem management and evidence-based policy.

  • Global salt marshes are losing soil carbon faster than restoration can recover it. Satellite-based surface soil carbon estimates reveal persistent degradation hotspots in North America, underscoring the need to protect carbon-rich marshes and strengthen long-term blue carbon management.

  • Despite strong evidence that Indigenous stewardship sustains biodiversity and carbon stocks, carbon markets typically reward recovery from degradation rather than protection, often excluding Indigenous-managed lands. Rethinking additionality could align climate mitigation with care, equity and long-term ecosystem stewardship.

  • Methane emissions from mangrove tree stems offset about 17% of the carbon buried in sediments in global mangroves, highlighting the need to incorporate tree-mediated methane fluxes into blue carbon budgets, according to a global quantification of methane emissions from mangrove tree stems.

  • Potential mangrove restoration would necessitate an investment of $40.0–52.1 billion, yielding net gains in ESV of $231–725 billion. An estimated of 19.4 Tg C can be sequestrated in mangrove soils, generating $68.6–$236 million via blue C trading.

  • Policies aiming to preserve vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCE) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions require national assessments of blue carbon resources. Here the authors assessed organic carbon storage in VCE across Australian and the potential annual CO2 emission benefits of VCE conservation and find that Australia contributes substantially the carbon stored in VCE globally.

  • To understand the potential for seaweed as a Blue Carbon strategy, the authors quantify carbon burial under 20 globally distributed seaweed farms. They attribute an average of 1.06 ± 0.74 tCO2e ha−1 yr−1 to seaweed farms, and show increased accumulation of carbon with farm age.

  • The role of Blue Carbon in climate change mitigation and adaptation has now reached international prominence. Here the authors identified the top-ten unresolved questions in the field and find that most questions relate to the precise role blue carbon can play in mitigating climate change and the most effective management actions in maximising this.

  • Mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows have historically been lost or degraded, threatening their ability to store carbon and provide ecosystem services. This Review details the global potential of blue carbon ecosystem protection and restoration in climate change mitigation, through carbon sequestration and co-benefit production.
