Current global estimates do not capture enough of the finer scale variability required to inform local decisions on siting protection and restoration projects. To close this knowledge gap, TNC and Woods Hole scientists compiled a large georeferenced database of mangrove soil carbon measurements and developed a novel machine-learning based statistical model of the distribution of carbon density using spatially comprehensive data at a 30 m resolution.

This report uses rigorous hydrodynamic and economic models to value the coastal flood protection services of mangroves globally, and identifies the places where mangroves provide the greatest risk reduction benefits to people and property. Results demonstrate that mangrove conservation and restoration is an important part of the solution for reducing risk.
