Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Mangroves classifies mangrove canopy cover density across Australia’s coastal ecosystems using 35+ years of Landsat data (1987–present) at 30-meter resolution.

Each annual map contains one layer (band) canopy_cover_class, with values defined as follows: Not observed — 0: insufficient observations per year to determine if mangroves exist Woodland 20-50% — 1: mangroves present with Planimetric Canopy Cover Percentage (PCC%) between 20% and 50% Open forest 50-80% — 2: mangroves present with PCC% between 50% and 80% Closed forest 80-100%  — 3: mangroves present with PCC% above 80% No data  — 255: no mangroves present, either PCC% below 20% or outside mangrove habitat
