ECO-DRR - Mangroves
EcoDRR global classification scheme based on spatial combination of ecosystem coverage and natural hazard physical exposure.
The ecosystem data-set contains area percentage of each considered ecosystem in a 100 square kilometer cell.
For a specific ecosystem, a 0.01 degree resolution raster of coverage real area is generated.
The quality of ecosystem in a 100 km2 grid cell is expressed as its area percentage, considering total cell area for mangrove ecosystem.

This dataset shows the global distribution of mangrove forests, derived from earth observation satellite imagery. It was created using Global Land Survey (GLS) data and the Landsat archive. Approximately 1,000 Landsat scenes were interpreted using hybrid supervised and unsupervised digital image classification techniques. See Giri et al. (2011) for full details.
