Coastal Marshes and Climate Change

Coastal marshes play a crucial role in combating climate change by trapping carbon dioxide. However, they face the threat of excessive water due to climate change. Interestingly, the carbon dioxide they trap aids in their growth and resilience, making them less prone to drowning. Climeworks supports this effort by capturing CO2 directly from the atmosphere, encouraging public participation in climate action.

What is the primary environmental benefit of coastal marshes?

• They prevent soil erosion.

• They increase local rainfall.

• They provide habitat for marine life.

• They trap carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What is the main threat to coastal marshes due to climate change?

• Increased salinity

• Increased temperatures

• Too much water

• Loss of biodiversity

How does trapped carbon dioxide benefit coastal marshes?

• It helps them grow bigger and more resilient.

• It reduces their water absorption.

• It increases their salinity levels.

• It attracts more wildlife.
