Mangroves Forest Extent - Protected Area
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The World Mangrove Atlas is the first significant attempt to provide an overview of the distribution of mangroves worldwide.
Description
Mapped data showing the extent of mangroves in over 100 countries have been gathered from a wide range of sources. Mangrove trees and shrubs, including ferns and palms, are found along river banks and coastlines in tropical and subtropical countries.
Their main characteristic is that they can tolerate salt and brackish water environments. Globally, there are seventy known species of mangroves.
