Description	250 Highlights Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) provide many ecosystem services as “the benefits people obtain from ecosystems.” These include important recreational and tourism opportunities, key fishery habitat, water quality improvements, and flood and erosion mitigation. These are co-benefits of BCEs in addition to carbon sequestration. The monetary value of these services are best known for coastal protection and carbon sequestration, with monetary value of coastal protection services estimated at $23 billion $year^{−1}$ between 1980 and 2008. Environmental degradation of coastal areas reduces the capacity of BCE to confer these co-benefits. While some uncertainties persist, given what is known about the aggregate monetary and non-monetary value of BCE, the co-benefits of BCE may outweigh the cost of managing, restoring, and creating BCE as nature-based features in coastal adaptation projects.
