Sea rewilding

[2] Rewilding marine and coastal ecosystems offer potential ways to mitigate climate change and sequester carbon.

[6] Sea rewilding aims to create conditions in which the various marine ecosystems are able to recover from prior damage and stressors and begin to thrive independently over time.

[7] Sea rewilding aids in helping the climate crisis by capturing carbon dioxide, supports local economies with eco-tourism, reverse biodiversity loss, improve health and well being by providing restored natural landscapes, clean air, water, and healthy soil.

[12] Research into seagrass, which covers about one percent of the sea floor suggests that it may be delivering 15–18% of carbon storage in the ocean.

He also states: "oysters provide a number of essential ecosystem services, from water filtration to fish habitat and shoreline protection.

[21][22] Kelp forests provide habitat for fish, protect coastlines from erosion and trap carbon dioxide from the ocean.

Sea otters are a keystone species needed to control the population of sea urchins which makes their reintroduction to the Pacific coast of Canada a successful case of rewilding. [ 1 ]
