Monash University's marine ecosystem conservation initiatives
Monash University research promotes the conservation of marine ecosystems and their role in climate change mitigation:
- Megha Purushotham, a Master of Environment and Sustainability student, collaborates with Fiji National University to research the potential of coastal ecosystems for blue carbon, aiming to influence policy and promote nature-based solutions.
- Indonesia is considering incorporating blue carbon ecosystems into its climate targets, with the Climateworks Centre at Monash University highlighting the potential for significant greenhouse gas emission reductions through the protection of mangroves and seagrass.
