Afifur was a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job with his research assignment! His final paper presents key statistics related to the carbon sequestration potential of marine ecosystems in Canada and highlights the potential for the blue carbon market to encourage investments in nature-based solutions. This information will help SCBC develop effective communications materials to support the Green Shores program. Additionally, Afifur's research introduces SCBC to a potential funding source that deserves further exploration. Afifur is a bright, conscientious young professional with the potential to grow and succeed in the environmental field! I encourage Afifur to continue researching topics in marine and freshwater management, conservation, and sustainability to broaden his knowledge base and explore potential career paths that match his interests.
