Global Mangrove Watch: Mangrove Habitat Mask

This is the habitat mask used to define the locations where mangroves can be found. It was used during the creation of the Global Mangrove Watch (GMW; https://www.globalmangrovewatch.org) extent products. Details of how this layer was originally produced are within Bunting et al., 2018 but it has subsequently been edited with further regions added as the GMW layers have been updated and improved. This is considered a living dataset which is edited, and new versions are produced when missing areas or improvements are identified. New versions will be uploaded here on zenodo.
