Dr. Peter Macreadie was one of 42 recipients of AMP’s Tomorrow Fund. This grant fund of $1 million supports scientists, social innovators, artists and athletes to create a better tomorrow for everyone with 2,500 applicants for 2015’s fund. Dr. Macreadie and his team are on a mission to raise awareness of the carbon storing potential of Australia’s coastal ecosystems. He is using his AMP Tomorrow Fund grant to help measure greenhouse gases from degraded coastal habitats with the aim of highlighting the need to protect key sites around Australia’s coastline: “Our research will develop new knowledge of how coastal ecosystems should be managed to ensure our vast reservoirs of coastal carbon achieve maximum carbon offset capacity.” |
