It&#8217;s also a great opportunity to share success stories which can inspire others to take action.<\/p>\n<p>Climate Conversations are one way to create a ripple effect of positive actions. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netzeronation.scot\/resources\/climate-conversation-pack\">Climate Conversations Pack<\/a> is a great resource to help you get the conversation started with your friends, family and colleagues.<\/p>\n<h4>Talking about the ocean<\/h4>\n<p>The ocean is also important for the Earth\u2019s climate and the ocean has taken up nearly 90% of the additional heat trapped inside our atmosphere. The impacts of climate change and ocean acidification are already observed across marine ecosystems, including here in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.scot\/publications\/ocean-literacy-scotland-headline-findings-report\/\">recent survey exploring understanding of the marine environment<\/a> we found that several marine terms relating to climate change were not well understood. For example, over 50% of respondents had never heard of, or understood, terms such as: blue carbon, carbon sequestration, and ocean acidification.<\/p>\n<p>To help get those climate conversations going this week, we\u2019re looking at some of these lesser recognised marine terms by finding out what they mean and the work we\u2019re doing in each area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blue carbon<\/strong> is the carbon captured and stored in marine and coastal ecosystems that accumulates over time through natural processes. Blue carbon habitats include: saltmarshes, seagrasses, kelp beds, biogenic reefs and geological sedimentary stores, such as seafloor and sea loch sediments.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13706\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13706\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13706 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Isle of Seil_Seaweed kelp forest_Copyright Alasdair ODell SAMS\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-683x512.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/09\/Isle-of-Seil_Seaweed-kelp-forest_Copyright-Alasdair-ODell-SAMS.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isle of Seil, Seaweed kelp forest\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Copyright: Alasdair O&#8217;Dell, SAMS<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can find out more about our Blue Carbon work on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecarbon.scot\/\">Scottish Blue Carbon Forum<\/a>\u00a0website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carbon sequestration<\/strong> is the process in which carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) is removed from the atmosphere and subsequently stored through biological, chemical, or physical processes. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that affect the planets temperature. The capture and storage of carbon dioxide occurs naturally in forests, peat lands, microscopic plankton and other marine habitats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carbon sequestration and storage <\/strong>is a human activity where carbon dioxide is captured from an industrial source and is stored in underground geologic formations, or rocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ocean acidification<\/strong> is the change in the chemical balance of the sea caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by human activities. This process is making the oceans more acidic and is creating corrosive conditions that might impact plants and animals with calcareous shells. The monitoring site at Stonehaven, operated by the Marine Directorate of Scottish Government, helps us to assess the potential biological impacts of ocean acidification and climate related changes to the plankton community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12919\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/09\/Figure-2-Examples-of-calcifying-plankton-monitored-in-Scottish-waters-coccolithophore-pteropod-and-bivalve-larvae-e1631627604884.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12919\" class=\"wp-image-12919 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/09\/Figure-2-Examples-of-calcifying-plankton-monitored-in-Scottish-waters-coccolithophore-pteropod-and-bivalve-larvae-e1631627604884.png\" alt=\"Examples of calcifying plankton monitored in Scottish waters -
