Hannah Muir is a PhD student at Swansea University, based at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. Her research investigates carbon stocks and accumulation within seagrass meadows, saltmarshes, and shelf-sea sediments around the Isle of Man. In her poster presentation at EGU24 she demonstrated that saltmarshes have the greatest organic carbon density, whilst shelf-sea sediments have the most significant organic carbon stock due to their vast 500 km2 area. These results can be used to prioritise areas for blue carbon management.
