Article Synopsis
- Large marine fish carcasses contribute to carbon sequestration in the deep ocean, unlike terrestrial organisms that release carbon into the atmosphere after death.
- Fisheries have significantly extracted this "blue carbon," releasing at least 0.73 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere since 1950.
- Limiting blue carbon extraction in economically unprofitable fishing areas could decrease CO2 emissions and enhance natural carbon sequestration by allowing fish stocks to rebuild.
