Abstract/Summary:
This study
conducted temporal analyses for 24 mangrove sites from 10 different projects in six different countries (Senegal, the
United Arab Emirates, Madagascar, Kenya, Solomon Island and Indonesia) using satellite imagery and GIS technology
to map and monitor their status. Given that many of the sites were small, very high-resolution satellite imagery (0.45,
0.6 and 1 metre resolution from Worldview, Quickbird and Ikonos, respectively) was used.
