This research aims to analyze the spatial and temporal dynamics of the Mangrove Health Index in the Sunda Strait using Sentinel-2 imagery.
Monitored mangrove conditions over the years 2015, 2020, and 2025 using satellite imagery.
Applied three vegetation indices: NBR, GCI, and SIPI for analysis.
Focused on the Sumur Coastal Area in Pandeglang, Banten.
Average NBR increased from 0.416 in 2015 to 0.450 in 2025.
Average GCI rose from 1.14 to 4.88, and SIPI from 0.84 to 1.04.
Mangrove areas in poor condition decreased from 684.15 ha to 376.78 ha, while those in very good condition increased from 548.39 ha to 945.29 ha.
