| Description | HIGHLIGHTS Coastal blue carbon ecosystems are often associated with deltas and estuaries; they are highly productive and thus have been sites of intense human activities for thousands of years. Degradation of blue carbon ecosystems has been caused by impoundment, conversion to alternative land uses, over exploitation, and pollution, all of which contribute to $CO_{2}$ emissions and reduce carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services offered by blue carbon ecosystems. Emerging threats include damming rivers, reducing sediment supply and increasing nutrient availability, which are likely to exacerbate the effects of climate change and sea-level rise on blue carbon ecosystems. Land-use planning for sustaining blue carbon ecosystems with sea level rise has the potential to increase the area of blue carbon ecosystems and global carbon sequestration.
