Field-Calibrated Mangrove Monitoring
A service and research framework connecting satellite indicators, field measurements, restoration evidence and community knowledge.
Research need
Remote sensing must meet field evidence
Earth observation can show patterns in extent, greenness, moisture and productivity, but these indicators require careful interpretation. Field evidence is needed to explain species composition, hydrology, disturbance, planting survival and community use.
The framework therefore treats satellite monitoring as part of a wider evidence system rather than a substitute for ecological validation.
Service model
From baseline to stewardship
The proposed service architecture includes baseline assessment, restoration-site intelligence, monitoring dashboards, Blue Carbon MRV readiness and community stewardship systems.
Each service combines data processing, interpretation, evidence organisation, field design and decision support.
