This tool was created to help prioritize areas in Oregon estuaries where tidal wetland conservation and restoration would be particularly effective for maintaining and/or expanding blue carbon sequestration and storage, and for reducing GHG emissions. The data shown in this map is based on completed and ongoing work to quantify the blue carbon value of Oregon's estuaries.
