    @anubis2814 yes, depends on the species and area, but sometimes bivalves help bury carbon through their ability to grab particles and spit them out as pseudofeces, causing them to become a net sink for carbon! #clamFacts

    The global bivalve trade is growing almost 10% a year. Challenges include harmful algae, pollution, invasive predators, and diseases, but overall, bivalves are a highly sustainable source of protein! Check the Monterey Seafood Guide to be sure, but many bivalve fisheries worldwide are stable and generally very low carbon footprint #clamFacts fao.org/in-action/globefish/ne
