Created a unified, analysis-ready national mangrove boundary for Bangladesh by processing global Landsat-based mangrove products in Earth Engine, providing foundational data for blue carbon, conservation planning, and climate policy.
Clipped the Global Mangrove Forests Distribution (2000) dataset to Bangladesh using FAO GAUL, created a binary mangrove mask, and converted it to vector polygons with reduceToVectors.
Filtered noise via minimum-pixel thresholds and dissolved all polygons into a single clean geometry, enabling robust area estimation, patch counting, and national-scale mapping.
Produced a ready-to-use asset for national resource inventories, REDD+/blue carbon accounting, coastal protection planning, and long-term mangrove change studies.
