Create a federal blue-carbon program and map protected zones

Warren proposed directing NOAA by executive order to build a domestic blue-carbon program supporting ocean-based carbon-sequestration projects, including coastal ecosystem restoration. She would also direct NOAA to map and establish Blue Carbon Zones in federal waters to identify, protect, and manage productive carbon-storing areas, and support research on blue carbon and ocean acidification.

Context: The passage does not specify the program’s funding or the boundaries and rules for Blue Carbon Zones.

In their own words
