Global #seaweed forests export 56 million tonnes of carbon (15% of their production) to the deep ocean annually. These biodiverse #blueforests are overlooked in the global ocean #carbon budget. We provide national estimates of this C #sink @NatureGeosci

Underwater rivers export up to 50% of #kelp #carbon from shallow reefs to deep ocean, with potential for #sequestration. Our new paper shows dense shelf water transport is a major mechanism for kelp export off Australia's #GreatSouthernReef and elsewhere!

Seaweed forests are carbon sinks! Our comment has finally been released outlining flaws in Gallagher et al's claim they are carbon sources. Their study confuses #bluecarbon research and creates doubt around initiatives to protect & restore #seaweedforests!
