Mapping mangrove distributions in Cherating river estuary, Pahang by using remote sensing

The mangrove at Cherating river estuary are diverse in species diversity and well distributed along the seven kilometer of the riverine swamp. The study on the mangroves cover are needed for coastal development planning and monitoring. Methodology: Combination of unsupervised and supervised classifi...
