New radar remote sensing techniques to monitor mangrove health.

New radar remote sensing techniques to monitor mangrove health.

Mangroves are important coastal ecosystems that provide valuable ecosystem services like natural protection against storm surges, hurricanes and tsunamis and contribute to fish stocks. As part of NASA's Land Cover and Land Use Change program, Dr. Simard and his team have developed new radar remote sensing techniques to monitor mangrove health. These techniques are expected to contribute to improved decision making and mangrove conservation.
