Abstract: This hosted tile layer is included in the Coastal Blue Carbon Map web map, which is part of the Blue Carbon in Marine Protected Areas story map.These data were compiled by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC). Data can be accessed here: www.cec.org/north-american-environmental-atlas/north-american-blue-carbon-2021/. This 2021 release represents the third update to the CEC’s mapping of blue carbon habitats, and was a priority within the Strengthening Adaptation Capacity in Marine Protected Areas project under the CEC’s 2019–2020 Operational Plan.Although this release presents the most comprehensive picture of North American blue carbon spatial distribution at the time of publication, many seagrass and salt marsh habitats have yet to be mapped and efforts to do so are ongoing, with several pending updates underway. Details on the sources are provided in the attached metadata documentation. 

Purpose: Mangrove habitat of North America produced by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) was clipped to the boundaries of national marine sanctuaries.
