Mangrove forests are dynamic places and so too are the people that study them. From carbon capture and peat formation, to restoration and hydrology, these coastal habitats offer curious minds plenty to ponder. Join me and Dr. Luke Lamb-Wotton as we explore the wonderfully complex world of these coastal ecosystems.

    Fascinating episode! While mangroves undeniably play a pivotal role in carbon sequestration and coastal protection, I wonder if the focus on their ecological benefits sometimes overshadows the challenges of restoration and conservation, particularly in the face of rising sea levels and human encroachment. What are your thoughts on the long-term sustainability of these efforts?
