Shanshan Liang et al.

Summary: The study proposes a mangrove sustainability index (MSI) to assess the impact of sea level rise and land use on mangrove habitats. The results show that dual stressors would reduce the extent of mangroves and affect habitat quality, landscape pattern, and protection ratio. Unsustainable mangrove distribution sites can be reversed to sustainable sites through improvements in land use policies.

Can Sustainable Development Save Mangroves?

Alexander Cesar Ferreira et al.

Summary: The Earth is facing issues such as global warming, overexploitation of ecosystems, species extinction, and pollution due to the increasing need for production, consumerism, and development. Although the concept of sustainable development has gained attention, forests, oceans, and wetlands, which are crucial ecosystems, are being destroyed at an alarming rate. This article discusses the incompatibility of true mangrove conservation with the concept of sustainable development and proposes solutions such as rejecting capital-oriented systems, reducing economic growth, transforming the energy matrix, and shifting to a lower level of the food chain.

Phenology-based classification of Sentinel-2 data to detect coastal mangroves

Sultan Mahmud et al.

Summary: Accurate classification of mangrove forests using medium spatial resolution satellite data is difficult, and commonly results in mixed outcomes. This study utilized the responses of mangrove vegetation at different wavelengths, and employed random forest algorithm with extracted vegetation indices to achieve phenology-based classification of mangroves. The optimal thresholding month for mangroves was also determined. Results showed that the phenology-based classification with three classes was more accurate than threshold-based or WorldCover v100 classifications, with December image performing better in discerning mangroves. These findings have important implications for separating mangroves from other coastal vegetations.

Summary: This study analyzed the structures of fish assemblages and their relationships with environmental variables in two adjacent estuaries on the north Pacific coast of Mexico. The results showed that habitat characteristics significantly influenced the composition, biomass, and diversity of fish assemblages. The depth and salinity also played a role in the diversity of fish assemblages. These findings highlight the singularity of fish assemblages in estuaries and emphasize the importance of local management strategies for these ecosystems.

Monitoring detailed mangrove hurricane damage and early recovery using multisource remote sensing data

Diego Arturo Vizcaya-Martinez et al.

Summary: Due to their tropical location, mangrove forests are vulnerable to hurricane impact. A study conducted in a mangrove area in Mexico showed that remote sensing approaches can accurately monitor the damage and recovery of the mangrove canopy. The hurricane caused a significant defoliation of the mangrove canopy, but the UAV images indicated a gradual recovery, which is estimated to take at least 8.5 years to reach pre-impact conditions.

Mangrove distribution and afforestation potential in the Red Sea

Javier Blanco-Sacristan et al.

Summary: Mangrove ecosystems in the Red Sea have high efficiency in carbon fixation and storage, as well as providing other co-benefits. Assessment of mangrove extent in the Red Sea using satellite data and exploring the effect of spatial resolution on mapping accuracy were conducted. The distribution of Red Sea mangroves and potential areas for afforestation were mapped using a maximum entropy modeling approach. The carbon sequestration rates were estimated based on a meta-analysis of available literature. Results show a positive trend in mangrove growth and provide upper bounds on carbon sequestration potential for Red Sea mangroves.

Summary: Mangrove ecosystems play a critical role in providing goods and services to coastal communities and mitigating climate change. Remote sensing has been proven useful in monitoring mangrove ecosystems over time and at a lower cost than field observation. Spectral indices, particularly the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), have been widely used in mangrove studies. However, there is a need for further research and development in identifying mangrove species using spectral indices.
