Resumen
Descripción
In this study, we applied a
methodological approach to assess the value of shoreline
protection services provided by mangroves. Our approach
involved using global flood risk models to simulate the
impact of waves and surge generated by tropical storms as they
interacted with mangrove shorelines. Through this modeling,
we evaluated the socioeconomic risk associated with flooding
and quantified the flood protection service offered by
mangroves. To capture temporal dynamics, we used mangrove
extent layers from multiple time points, spanning the
period from 1996–2020. By incorporating these
temporal dimensions, we were able to measure how the asset
value of mangroves changed over time, thus providing insights
into the evolving importance of mangroves for shoreline protection.
