What is the current extent and recent trends of saltmarsh habitats inside and outside protected sites?

Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:

Stocks of natural resources is a basic measure of sustainable management of natural resources. The extent data for saltmarshs is relatively old, especially considering that this is a dynamic habitat.
