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 images taken by satellites, including Copernicus Sentinel-1 and -2, to compare the most recent mangrove cover with a baseline map. They then send out alerts if there is a difference between the baseline map and the latest satellite images.
