 The study presents a new global baseline for mangrove extent in 2010 using a globally consistent and automated method. The overall accuracy was 94% with a 99% likelihood that the true value is between 93.6 to 94.5%. Asia has the highest proportion of mangroves, while Latin America and the Caribbean have the second highest. The methodology used is primarily based on Allos Pulsar and Landsat sensor data. The new baseline will form the basis for a mangrove monitoring system using JAXA JERS-1SAR, Allos Pulsar, and Allos-2Pulsar, two radar data to assess mangrove change from 1996 to the present. However, users should note that a minimum mapping unit of one hectare is recommended, and the error increases in regions of disturbance and where narrow strips or smaller fragmented areas of mangroves are present. The study also mentions artifacts due to cloud cover and Landsat-7SLC of error in some areas, particularly regions of West Africa. In the future, consideration will be given to producing a new global baseline based on 10m Sentinel-2 composites. This article was authored by Pete Bunting, acrosanctvist, Richard M.
