These data are associated with an article submitted for peer-review on June 9, 2020. The aim of the paper was to quantify the extent of mangrove damage resulting from Hurricane Irma in south Florida. Mangrove damage was quantified using remotely sensed imagery from satellite and airborne lidar sensors. The combination of the observations provided estimates of the change in forest cover and forest structure over the course of a year after the hurricane, ultimately leading to a spatially explicit map of mangrove resilience. Details regarding methods can be found in the supplemental information with the manuscript. The final south Florida Mangrove Resilience model following Hurricane Irma is provided in GEOTIFF format. The raster values range from 1 to 3. The spatial resolution is a nominal 30 m x 30 m (Landsat) resolution.

1 = Low Resilience Class

2 = Intermediate Resilience Class

3 = High Resilience Class
