Blue Carbon Permanence Risk Engine

Unlike Sylvera and Pachama (which focus on terrestrial carbon), this module verifies Blue Carbon sequestration claims against IPCC AR6 WG II coefficients and flags permanence risks from sea-level rise, tidal inundation, bathymetry depth, and coastal erosion — risks that are unique to SIDS and entirely missed by existing AI verification tools.
