Hello! I am an intern for the Center for Environmental Concerns working on an environmental situation report that involves mapping the mangrove areas in the Philippines, and am thus requesting the following information:

1.) Names, location, and land area of each mangrove forest in the Philippines, preferably with location up to the Barangay level

2.) If available, map of each mangrove area in the Philippines

Ideally, this would include mangrove forests of all sizes if officially classified as such. Thank you!
