- Caveats and realities in carbon sequestration in restored mangrovesRestoring mangroves can effectively contribute to carbon sequestration. The sequestered carbon can be used in carbon financing/market. But there are caveats and realities. Restoration is good, but it needs to be done correctly. Let’s start with the methods in calculating…
