The Global Mangrove Watch (GMW) is a collaboration between Aberystwyth
University (U.K.), solo Earth Observation (soloEO; Japan), Wetlands International
the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) and the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The GMW aims to provide geospatial information about mangrove extent and
changes to the Ramsar Convention, national wetland practitioners, decision makers
and NGOs. 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
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.
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 seven epochs
between 1996 and 2017 derived from JERS-1, ALOS and ALOS-2. Annual maps are
planned from 2018 and onwards. |
