Coastal ecosystems provide important services, including long-term carbon sequestration, providing habitat for many species of wildlife, and enhancing resilience to flooding and pollution. With a changing climate, sea level rise, and land cover change, coastal ecosystems are vulnerable to change. How this change will impact the functioning of coastal ecosystems and their connection between the land and ocean remains to be understood. We welcome presentations exploring the controls of biogeochemical cycling or other ecological processes and ecosystem services in coastal ecosystems. Specific interest will be placed on those exploring the possibility of using these ecosystems for blue carbon initiatives and exploring policy driven questions. We are also excited about new methodologies and perspectives in monitoring and understanding these ecosystems to understand how the capacity to provide ecosystem services is likely to change into the future.
