Integrating mangrove ecosystems into NBSAPs through the Global Mangrove Watch

Abstract

The Global Mangrove Watch represents a critical tool, based on the most accurate science, to support Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity to support the integration of mangrove commitments into their NBSAPs revisions and national reports, collectively catalyzing ambition and action on mangroves and other blue carbon ecosystems. The Global Mangrove Watch (GMW) is an online platform that provides remote sensing data and tools for global monitoring of mangroves, in scientific collaboration with Wetlands International, Aberystwyth University, soloEO, The Nature Conservancy, Cambridge University, JAXA, NASA and a host of partners.
