Global 10-meter seagrass maps

This dataset provides the first spatially consistent, global-scale seagrass extent maps at 10-meter resolution, designed to support coastal conservation planning, ecosystem monitoring, and blue carbon assessments. The maps capture global shallow-water seagrass distribution for two time periods: 2019–2020 and 2023–2024, enabling analysis of spatial patterns, persistence, and change over time. Seagrass extent is provided as GeoTIFF raster files at native 10-m spatial resolution, compatible with standard GIS and remote-sensing platforms. The dataset is optimized for integration into conservation workflows, national greenhouse gas inventories, restoration prioritization, and large-scale ecological analyses.
