This study outlines advancements in mangrove monitoring using Earth Observation (EO) technologies, highlighting a transition from historical cartography to modern, near-real-time monitoring systems. Mangroves, critical for biodiversity, climate regulation, and coastal protection, face threats from climate change and human activities. The need for accurate and recurrent mapping tools is emphasized, addressing the limitations of current global datasets like the Global Mangrove Watch (GMW) by incorporating high-resolution data and field measurements. The French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) has pioneered mangrove monitoring since the 1990s, with key methodologies including the use of Sentinel-2 and Pleiades satellite imagery for high-resolution mapping, texture-based analysis, and the incorporation of LiDAR data for accurate biomass estimation. Historical cartography is contrasted with contemporary monitoring efforts, focusing on the integration of multi-source data and the importance of localized ground-truthing. This approach enhances the capabilities of earth observation for carbon stock assessments and supports informed decision-making in conservation and climate policy. The work also highlights the need for further integration of local knowledge and advanced EO sensor data to refine carbon sequestration models and improve mangrove management strategies.
