Layers panel (left). Layers are grouped by theme and listed with their feature counts. Use Find a layer to search, All to tick everything visible and None to clear. Newest Global Mangrove Watch years are listed first.

Filters. Choose a formation class, type part of a name, or set a minimum and maximum polygon size in hectares, then press Apply filters.

Map behaviour. Zoomed out, large layers appear as a density grid so the map stays fast; zoom in to see individual polygons (shapes are simplified at low zoom). Drag to pan, scroll to zoom.

Click any feature for its name, area, perimeter or length, date and a link to its source and provenance.

Basemap tiles come from OpenStreetMap; all shapes come from Atlas' own database.

Restricted layers are never shown here to members or guests.
