Estuaries are vital ecosystems, supporting a significant portion of the U.S. population and economy, especially the seafood industry. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Coastal Program collaborates with partners to protect estuaries and address climate change challenges. A dam removal project in Maine aims to restore fish habitats and mitigate the negative impacts of dams on streams. Restoration efforts include planting native trees and sequestering carbon dioxide to combat climate change. Increased funding and legislative support are needed to sustain these conservation partnerships and their economic and environmental benefits.
Reforesting streamside buffers is an important Natural Climate Solution as it has the potential to sequester 10 million tons of carbon dioxide a year nationwide (Source: reforestationhub.org).
