This database consists of 14 sites of mangroves from Puerto San Carlos and La Paz, Baja California Sur, from 2018 and 2019. These sites were imaged using a Phantom 4 Pro at 120 meters altitude, resulting in a 3 cm per pixel resolution. Mangrove and nonmangrove labels were labeled using QGIS. The imagery collection and labeling process was led by Astrid Hsu, Eric Lo, Beni Guerrero, and John Dorian.

Images were collected using a drones flying over mangroves at 120 meters in altitude. The full protocol can be viewed at https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2zv0z6zm. Orthomosaics were then created using Agisoft Metashape. Orthomosaics were exported as tif files and uploaded to QGIS 2.4 or newer. Using this platform, labelers drew geo-referenced polygons and classified areas as mangrove or nonmangrove.
