A webinar on how coastal habitats contribute to coastal protection and blue carbon storage will begin at noon April 19.
The Pew Charitable Trusts, Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries are hosting the webinar on how coastal habitats contribute to coastal protection and blue carbon storage and ways states are using this information for climate and coastal management planning.

Register online for the free webinar by 11 a.m. April 19 to participate.
Lydia Olander and Katie Warnell of Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions will present their recently completed mapping work in six states — North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and New York — on how coastal habitats contribute to coastal protection and blue carbon, and how sea level rise will impact salt marshes and carbon storage over the next century.
Chris Baillie, a postdoctoral researcher at East Carolina University, and Casey Knight, a coastal habitat biologist with the North Carolina Department of Marine Fisheries, will then speak about their experiences integrating Duke’s mapping work into updates to North Carolina’s Coastal Habitat Protection Plan.
