The working group will gather scientific evidence to determine the role of coastal vegetated ecosystems in carbon storage and sequestration, encourage the inclusion of these systems in national carbon accounting, and consider their conservation and restoration as a viable mitigation strategy under existing climate regulation policies.

Finally the Working Group will develop coastal conservation guidelines for coastal carbon and create scientific recommendations for coastal planning and management that prioritize sequestration and storage of coastal carbon deposits.
