The paper points out that destruction of seagrass habitats and marshes not only removes this form of carbon sequestration but also releases already - stored organic carbon into the carbon cycle — an effect that protection in MPAs would counteract.

The maximum estimated potential for sequestration is 1.2 GtC (Gigatons of Carbon) per year — which is the equivalent of adding 4 parts of organic carbon to every 1000 parts of organic carbon that is already stored within agricultural soils, hence the name 4 pour 1000.
