Global Mangrove Watch is an online platform providing remote sensing data and tools for coastal and park managers, conservationists, policymakers and practitioners to respond by pinpointing the causes of local mangrove loss and tracking restoration progress.
The Global Mangrove Watch team uses satellite data to produce a map of all the mangroves around the world once a year.
This map is from 2016. Mangroves covered 135,881.65 km² globally, representing a linear coverage of 11.96% of the global coastline.
