Study reveals contrasting trends in mangrove cover in five estuaries, indicating significant loss and restoration efforts.

Significant mangrove loss occurred in Sriwulan (-47.03%) and Cisanggarung (-50.00%), indicating serious ecological threats.
The Pemali Estuary experienced a remarkable 79.83% gain in mangrove cover due to community-led restoration efforts.
Using Landsat 8 imagery and ground truthing provided a robust method for monitoring mangrove cover dynamics.
Findings stress the need for adaptive coastal management to balance ecological health and socio-economic development.

Candraningtyas et al. (2025) studied this question.
