Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), such as saltmarshes, accumulate organic carbon (OC) over millennia (Mcleod et al. 2011; Macreadie et al. 2021; Friess et al. 2022) and store vast amounts of carbon (> 30,000 Tg). There is significant public and private interest in using these systems for their potential climate mitigation and adaptation benefits, through management interventions including habitat protection, restoration, and creation (Needelman et al. 2018; Macreadie et al. 2019; Friess et al. 2022).
