    I'll note that at least one set of major vested interests still holds sway - though there's passing mention that mangroves absorb carbon dioxide, the story says nothing about the likelihood that climate change will obviate most of the planned remediation.

    Don't ask me how or why I was reading Garden and Gun, a publication I didn't even know existed until about an hour ago.
