Mangrove Change Analysis & Plantation Suitability

Twenty five years of mangrove cover along the Lasbela coast, mapped and ranked into an evidence base for new plantation.

LocationLasbela coastal belt, Pakistan
The Brief

WFP required an evidence base for coastal mangrove investment in Balochistan: where mangroves stand today, how cover has changed over time, and where new plantation will succeed.

Delivered

What we
built

  • Satellite mapping of existing mangrove stands along the Lasbela coast

  • A 25-year change record, 2000 to 2025, quantifying the temporal trend

  • A weighted decision matrix identifying and ranking new plantation sites

The Record

Twenty five years of coastline, read from orbit.

Satellite archives from 2000 to 2025 quantify exactly where mangrove cover persisted, expanded, and retreated along the Lasbela coast, turning anecdote into a measured trend.
