Topic 2. Carbon sequestration in the Indonesian Seas and its global significances: Generation of scientific knowledge for formulating strategies for adaptation to climate change (CISKA)

The aim of this project is to quantify and to value the carbon storage in and the CO2 emission from the Indonesian Seas caused by declining coastal ecosystems for the development of sustainable mitigation strategies in the framework of compensation-based institutional approaches to reduce CO2 emissions. Therefore a budget for the organic and the inorganic carbon cycle will be established by determining long-term organic and inorganic carbon accumulation rates as well as carbon exports from coastal ecosystems into the ocean and the atmosphere. In order to account for the different succession of ecosystems in peat and non-peat dominated coastal regions, three main working areas were bilateral agreed and selected: the peat-dominated eastern coast of Sumatra, the coral reef-dominated carbonate platform in the Spermonde Archipelago and the Banten Bay close to Jakarta.
