That's insane.

Yeah.

Like it's biblical, you know?

Yeah.

And, I mean, you saw how bad the Indian Ocean tsunami was, too.

It just makes you wonder, like, how much worse it could have been without mangroves.

So I say we take our second break, and we come back and talk about carbon sequestration.

Hey, girl.

Yeah, it's basically the same thing like, you know, trees inland capturing carbon and storing them in their bits and parts.

This is just coastal vegetation doing the same thing.

And the thing is, is like trees...

They're really efficient at capturing carbon and storing it.

But because of our friends fungi and rot, when the tree dies, that carbon gets released back into the ecosystem and even possibly back into the atmosphere if, say, like a wildfire happens.

Hot wheels.

Yeah.

It's like the Judah Friedlander of forests as far as carbon sequestration goes.

Oh, he always wore a hat that said World Champion.

Oh, okay.

And he was always boasting about stuff like that.

That was a great Judah Friedland.
