-CO2 emissions represent 1.4% of total global emissions.-Mexico is the 13th country with the largest emissions worldwide.-Mexico committed to reduce its emissions by 22% for 2030 (Paris Agreement).
What Happens in Mexico?
28 países incluyen referencias a los humedales costeros en sus NDCs en términos de mitigación
59 países incluyen la conservación, restauración y/o uso sustentable de sus ecosistemas costeros en sus NDCs como estrategia de adaptación

HOW?-Prioritize higher cost-benefit actions that reduce emissions and generate collateral benefits in health, food security, risk reduction and the well-being of the population. INECC, 2015.
-Conservation, restoration and sustainable use of coastal ecosystems is a cost-effective strategy for mitigating and adapting to climate change, also providing important co-benefits to communities. CCA 2017.

Along the Mexico coast there are environmental gradients and diversity of characteristics that favor different scenarios for development of different mangroves types.

Relation to Geomorphology
(Ezcurra et al 2016)
Unlike terrestrial forests, mangroves, although not have the most extent, are more important in C storage.
Production and burial "in situ" are the promoters of C stock in mangroves. Why?
![Page 12: Blue Carbon in Mexico: A Synthesis - CIFOR · 2019. 10. 15. · Blue Carbon Baseline in Mexico ResponsableS: Jorge A. Herrera-Silveira, Andrea Camacho Rico, Israel Medina Gómez,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071605/6141ad04d64cc55ff0755260/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Relations to Land Use Change
(Kauffman et al 2016)
-Mangroves conserved vs land use change to grazing
-The prediction: emissions would greater in mangroves due to land use change.

Relation with local and regional gradients
Salinity local gradient is C stock controller
Climate-Salinity regional gradient is C stock controller

Final Remarks:-YP is an important region to Blue Carbon projects
-There is more uncertainty in Seagrasses than Mangroves estimatesNext steeps= More plots, Remote sensing + Field data, New Technologies.
-Peten and dwarf mangroves have greater carbon stocks. Hydroperiod can be a controller.
-Seagrasses store more C in habitats with lower hydrodinamic condition.
-Conservation and restoration are the principal actions for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Landscape scale monitoring.
-Develop experimental manipulation of hydroperiod and coastal currents to determine the trajectories of recovery in mangrove and seagrass, could help determine conditions of maximum potential of carbon capture and storage.
-Research is needed on more precise estimates of the stores and flows (vertical and lateral) in these ecosystems, and their relationship with resources (N, P), stressors (salinity, sulfur), hydroperiod, type of activity, among others.

“... investigation regarding the blue carbon sequestration and storages is inconclusive. More research is required to obtain more accurate estimates of the amount of carbon deposited in these ecosystems, how much is released into the atmosphere due to change in land use, and where in the planet (Mexico) the carbon losses/capture are recorded more accelerated.”
