Distribution and drivers of global mangrove forest change, 1996-2010. Thomas N, Lucas R, Bunting P, Hardy A, Rosenqvist A, Simard M. The Global Mangrove Watch – a New 2010 Global Baseline of Mangrove Extent. Annual maps are planned from 2018 and onwards.īunting P., Rosenqvist A., Lucas R., Rebelo L-M., Hilarides L., Thomas N., Hardy A., Itoh T., Shimada M. The GMW has generated a global baseline map of mangroves for 2010 using ALOS PALSAR and Landsat (optical) data, and changes from this baseline for epochs between 19 derived from JERS-1 SAR, ALOS PALSAR and ALOS-2 PALSAR-2.
The primary objective of the GMW has been to provide countries lacking a national mangrove monitoring system with first cut mangrove extent and change maps, to help safeguard against further mangrove forest loss and degradation. It is part of the Ramsar Science and Technical Review Panel ( STRP) work plan for 2016-2018 and a Pilot Project to the Ramsar Global Wetlands Observation System ( GWOS), which is implemented under the GEO-Wetlands Initiative. The GMW aims to provide geospatial information about mangrove extent and changes to the Ramsar Convention, national wetland practitioners, decision makers and NGOs. The African part is supported by DOB Ecology through the Mangrove Capital Africa project. It is led by Aberystwyth University and solo Earth Observation, in collaboration with Wetlands International, the International Water Management Institute and the UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre (U.K.). The Global Mangrove Watch ( GMW) was initiated as part of the JAXA Kyoto & Carbon Initiative in 2011.
