Conversions of coastal wetlands to agricultural and urban lands in the period of 1990–2015. Coastal wetland area in 1990 was set as a baseline and wetland land losses were calculated from this baseline. Remaining agricultural and urban lands refer to the area of these land uses in the previous investigation year. New agricultural and urban lands refer to coastal wetland conversions from the previous investigation year. New urban land converted from agricultural land use represents lands that were converted from coastal wetland to agricultural land uses in previous investigation years.
