Mangrove area, any African country

Global Mangrove Watch (2026). Global Mangrove Watch: Timeseries of Mangrove Extent, version 4.1.12. Zenodo, doi:10.5281/zenodo.21346456. Bunting et al. (2022), Remote Sensing 14(15):3657. Areas recalculated by Atlas (atlas.twende.green), retrieved [date].

Lamu layers

WWF Kenya, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, Kenya Forest Service (2019). Lamu Mangroves Species Formation. Archived copy via Atlas (atlas.twende.green), snapshot [date].

Atlas calculations (scenarios, rankings, hot spots): add "calculated with Atlas Blue Carbon Intelligence, atlas.twende.green, [date]" and state any assumptions used.

Good practice: quote the version, the year of the map, whether the area is Atlas-measured or an official statistic, and the date accessed.
