19.6 Monitoring of Mangroves
Monitoring of the coastal zones and its landuse/landforms as well as vital habitats
has become simpler and cost effective with the availability of high spatial resolution
data from earth observation satellites during the past three decades. Many studies on
monitoring of mangrove ecosystems have been carried out using multi date satellite
data (Kanniah et al. 2015; Bhavsar et al. 2014; Kumar et al. 2012a, b; Aizpuru et al.
