1 The Mangrove Maker Tom Guerney , 2017 single work short story
— Appears in: Ecopunk! Speculative Tales of Radical Futures 2017; (p. 197-206)

In an interview with publisher Ticonderoga, Thomas Guerney noted:

My story "The Mangrove Maker" is about Donna, a woman who creates synthetic mangroves to replace their natural counterparts dying from an incurable blight. The synthetics also use artificial photosynthesis to create a source of energy both beautiful and sustainable. However, her project is under threat from the big renewables: all gleaming and hard-edged efficiency, operating out of kilometre-tall arcology under the leadership of Donna’s ex husband. For Donna to succeed, she’ll have to face a part of her life she’d hoped was left far behind her.
