Our approach involved using global flood risk models to simulate the impact of waves and surge generated by tropical storms as they interacted with mangrove shorelines. Through this modeling, we evaluated the socioeconomic risk associated with flooding and quantified the flood protection service offered by mangroves. To capture temporal dynamics, we used mangrove extent layers from multiple time points, spanning the period from 1996–2020. By incorporating these temporal dimensions, we were able to measure how the asset value of mangroves changed over time, thus providing insights into the evolving importance of mangroves for shoreline protection.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOFLOOD CONTROLAGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITYSHOCKS AND VULNERABILITY TO POVERTYCOASTAL AND MARINE ECOSYSTEMSNO POVERTYSDG 1ZERO HUNGERSDG 2LIFE BELOW WATERSDG 14The Changing Wealth of NationsReportWorld BankBuilding Coastal Resilience with Mangroves: The Contribution of Natural Flood Defenses to the Changing Wealth of Nations10.1596/42325
