The Mangrove extent cover map 2017 is produced under the GCCA+ Suriname adaption project “Setting up a mangrove biodiversity Monitoring System”. It gives the current mangrove extent along the coastal region of Suriname, as well as the upper shores of the Coppename River, Saramacca river, Suriname river and Marowijne river. The map is produced with Sentinel 2 imagery of 2017 provided by the EU Copernicus programme of ESA, using a machine learning classification technique using following softwares; QGIS, SNAP and python. An accuracy assessment is currently carried out in collaboration with the UN-REDD program and will be finalized in 2019.

This layer gives an idea of the hydrography in Suriname, including rivers, lakes and part of the Atlantic Ocean. This layer was produced by SBB based on Landsat images.

This map was produced within the Conservation International/KFW project “Avoided deforestation through consolidation and creation of protected areas and forest carbon financing mechanisms in the Guiana region". The map was created by SarVision based on ALOS PALSAR Images.
