1 Coastal Wetlands from the Blue Carbon Perspective: an Integration of Restoration with Potential Eco-tourisms Iwan Tri Cahyo Wibisono
2 BLUE CARBON * Blue carbon is the carbon stored, sequestered and released from coastal ecosystems including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows. Blue carbon activities refer to a sustainable coastal ecosystems management activities which result in avoided emissions from conversion and degradation, conservation, coastal management and restoration of coastal ecosystems (enhancement of carbon stocks through restoration and/or afforestation/reforestation) *IUCN & CI: International Blue Carbon Policy Working Group held from July 2011 at CI s headquarters in Arlington, VA
3 COASTAL WETLANDS IN INDONESIA Components: Estuaries, Coral reefs, Seagrass beds, Ponds, fresh/ brackish water and peat swamps, beach forests, Mangroves, Lagoons, Bays Removal of upland forests threatened downstream livelihood & fishery Upland The Coastal Wetlands - stored & sequestered C but it also sources of C Coastal wetlands have attractive value for ecotourism Inter-tidal wetlands: 40 mill ha River Lowland Peatland, freshwater swamps Shrimp ponds Rice fields Mangrove Near Shore Sea grass Off Shore lagoon Coral Reefs mudflat Estuary Salt pans
