Why are mangroves important?
Mangroves are growing in 123 tropical and subtropical countries; 73 species recognized as “true” mangroves20% decline in last 25 years due mainly to conversion and coastal development 3-4 times faster than terrestrial forestcoastal development, 3 4 times faster than terrestrial forest types, lengthy recovery periods requiredHigh economic values and benefits, especially to coastal peoplepeople
Estimated economic value of US$2,000-9,000/ha/year where mangroves are extensiveForest products (timber, charcoal, firewood, etc.) and non-timber productsSustaining fishery resourceCoastal protection Providing recreation and environmental education sitesReducing carbon emissionseduc g ca bo e ss o s

Importance of the AtlasImportance of the AtlasFirst recent global assessment of mangrove status (extent and management)
Accurate data from satellite imagery analysis compiled to serve as a baseline for the future gain/loss assessmentserve as a baseline for the future gain/loss assessment
Recent reliable coverage of 99% of world mangroves
Besides distribution maps assessment for use threatsBesides distribution maps, assessment for use, threats, management, etc. in each country
