The Oceanographic Research Centre at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has launched the MonMang application. This second-generation smartphone-based software is designed to facilitate the monitoring of mangrove forest conditions, including their health.
MonMang is the world’s first application created to monitor mangroves. Monitoring mangroves is essential to observe degradation or the potential spread of degradation in a particular area. The results of mangrove monitoring can be used to formulate policies to address mangrove-related issues.
