Greater Mekong Subregion Distribution of Mangroves; Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar (2016)

The Global Mangrove Watch (GMW) has generated a global baseline map of mangroves for 2010 using ALOS PALSAR and Landsat (optical) data, and changes from this baseline for six epochs between 1996 and 2016 derived from JERS-1 SAR, ALOS PALSAR and ALOS-2 PALSAR-2.
