Arrey, a hectare of mangrove socks away nearly four times the carbon of a tropical forest, yaar! Most of it is in that thick, smelly mud because the roots trap everything and the water slows down decay—it all just gets buried. They count "blue carbon" by measuring the carbon in that soil and the plants, very carefully, over years.
But listen, I know these reports. From my CSR budget, I see mangrove project proposals promising the moon. My life says: counting carbon in mud is not like counting reps in my gym. In the gym, I see the change in a boy's shoulders every day. With these projects, you send money, you get a paper certificate years later. How much carbon *actually* stayed put? That trust is the real weight to lift.
