Global Mangrove Forest Cover for the 21st Century (2000)

The Continuous Global Mangrove Forest Cover for the 21st Century (CGMFC-21) provides high resolution local, regional, national, and global estimates of annual mangrove forest levels using continuous data from 2000 through to 2014. The data is applicable to mangrove research questions pertaining to biodiversity, climate change, food security, livelihoods, fisheries support, and conservation that have been hindered until now by a lack of suitable data. CGMFC-21 provides the required spatiotemporal resolutions to not only set REDD baseline measures globally in a systematic manner, but also to account for forest degradation as well as deforestation on an annual basis.

The rasters show the area (in square metres) of mangrove within each ~30 m pixel with global coverages available annually for 2000 to 2014.
