• dredging and coastal construction
• nutrient pollution
• rapid environmental change
our oceans are changing• global carbon emissions
• warming ocean temperatures
• sea level rise
• ocean acidification
solution: restoration• containerized sediment
• reseeding new meadows
• transplanting
• as part of large restoration projects
solution: Blue Carbon • seagrass, mangroves, salt marsh
• preservation and management
• international protocol needed
