A map of Bangladesh shows several rivers flowing through the delta into the Bay of Bengal, including the Ganges, Padma, Brahmaputra, Jamura, and Meghna, among others. The map delineates the area of this study, including the Sundarbans in the middle of the delta up through the town of Khulna. About 40% of the area of the study is identified as mangroves.
