Audit the coastal lungs. Calculate the massive carbon stock held in mangrove biomass and soil, and the resulting CO2-equivalent sequestration potential.
Mangroves store 3x to 5x more carbon per hectare than tropical rainforests. Most of this 46,850 Mg C is stored in the anaerobic soil, where it can remain for millennia if the ecosystem is not disturbed.
