i-Mangrove is a spatially explicit decision-support dashboard that enables transparent measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of mangrove blue carbon. The dashboard integrates consistent geospatial datasets and analytics to assess mangrove extent, change, emissions and restoration potential across multiple spatial scales.
What does i-Mangrove provide?
 |
Interactive, map-based access to historical and current mangrove datasets |
 |
Consistent assessment of mangrove dynamics, including loss and restoration opportunities |
 |
Estimates of carbon emission baselines associated with mangrove change |
 |
Evaluation of potential climate mitigation outcomes from mangrove protection and restoration scenarios |
 |
Scalable outputs, from national to subnational and landscape levels, with exportable charts and tabular data (CSV) |
Why i-Mangrove matters for policy and finance
i-Mangrove supports blue carbon programme and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by providing data aligned with IPCC-consistent MRV approaches for mangrove related emissions and removals. It also enables blue carbon markets and results-based finance by offering open-access, standardized spatial information to guide project planning and investment decisions.
Knowledge & skills
Beyond supporting policy and finance, i-Mangrove also contributes to capacity development by helping government agencies, practitioners, and local stakeholders better understand spatial data, apply MRV approaches, and design evidence-based mangrove interventions.
From local action to global impact
By linking spatial data with policy, finance, restoration priorities and coastal resilience, i-Mangrove helps align local mangrove actions with national and global climate goals. This, in turn, strengthens Indonesia’s pathway towards credible and sustainable blue carbon initiatives.
Policy Implications of the i-Mangrove Blue Carbon Dashboard
The i-Mangrove Blue Carbon Dashboard links spatial mangrove data with policy, finance, restoration priorities and coastal resilience to align local actions with national and global climate goals.
