Desk note: Monexus framed this as a planetary-scale ecological story with concrete policy stakes in named delta regions, rather than as a profile of the MIT lab. The wire lede emphasised the salinity threshold; Monexus added the comparative biogeography angle and the uneven regional implications for South and Southeast Asia and the US Atlantic coast.
