#' Global Mangrove Extent Polygon
#'
#' This resource is part of the publication by Bunting et al. (2018)
#' "The Global Mangrove Watch—A New 2010 Global Baseline of Mangrove Extent".
#' The polygons represent the mangrove, which is tropical coastal vegetation
#' and considered the most significant part of the marine ecosystem. This
#' resource is available for the selected years in the period 1996- 2020 from
#' Global Mangrove Watch (GMW), providing geospatial information about global
#' mangrove extent.
#'
#'
#' @name gmw
#' @param years A numeric vector of the years for which to make GMW available.
#' @docType data
#' @keywords resource
#' @returns A function that returns an `sf` footprint object.
