The rapid pace of climate change in high latitude seas is promoting the emergence of novel ecosystems in coastal regions as well as in the open ocean. SEA-Quester, in accordance with the work program (HORIZON-CL6-2023-CLIMATE-01-3), will conduct field surveys, process studies and model analyses to improve our understanding of the causes and consequences of these emerging polar ecosystems; their potential for blue carbon sequestration, their implications for marine biodiversity, and their role in the global eco-bio-geo-chemical climate system. SEA-Quester will do so with a rigorous analysis of blue carbon stocks and their dynamics, laying the foundations for a fit-for-purpose blue carbon accounting with balance sheets for not just carbon sequestration, but other impacted marine ecosystem services such as fisheries production. SEA-Quester considers all forms of blue carbon in coastal, pelagic, and benthic novel marine ecosystems, living and dead, in the water column and in the sediments, and uses a mechanistic approach to reduce uncertainties in model predictions. A key outcome of SEA-Quester will be to develop a thorough means of quantifying the trade-off between harvesting marine biomass and its net contribution to carbon sequestration: the Biomass-Sequestration amplification factor. SEA-Quester will ensure effective exploitation of the project results in international scientific assessments of Blue Carbon potential and by policy-makers (specifically targeting Nationally Determined Contribution estimates), to ensure dialogue, communication and dissemination to National and European governmental bodies, European citizens and NGO’s, and to provide recommendations for optimizing the monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem services in emerging polar environments.

高纬度海洋气候变化的快速速度正在促进沿海地区以及开阔的海洋中新生态系统的出现。根据工作计划（Horizo​​n-CL6-2023-CLIMATE-01-3），海征将进行现场调查，过程研究和模型分析，以提高我们对这些新兴极性生态系统的原因和后果的理解；它们在蓝色碳式会议上的潜力，对海洋生物多样性的影响以及它们在全球生态生物生物化学气候系统中的作用。海王将通过对蓝色碳量及其动态的色带分析来做到这一点，为使用资产负债表的适合用途的蓝色碳核算奠定基础，不仅是碳固存，还为其他受影响的海洋生态系统服务（例如渔业生产）。海鲜人考虑在水柱和沉积物中的沿海，骨髓和底栖新颖的海洋生态系统，生存和死亡的所有形式的蓝色碳，并使用一种机械方法来减少模型预测中的不确定性。海王的一个关键结果将是开发一种彻底的方法，以量化收获海洋生物量和其对碳隔离的净贡献之间的权衡：生物质 - 序列放大因子。 Sea-Quester将确保对项目的有效剥削导致对蓝色碳潜力的国际科学评估，并通过政策制定者（专门针对全国确定的贡献估算），以确保对对话，沟通和传播对国家和欧洲政府机构，欧洲公民和非政府组织，并提供建议，以优化对生物多样性和生态学环境的监控。
