The report estimates that carbon emissions equal to half the annual emissions of the global transport sector are being captured and stored by marine ecosystems such as mangroves, salt marshes and seagrasses. It estimates that up to 7% of these blue carbon sinks are being lost annually—seven times the rate of loss of 50 years ago.
