Google Earth Engine-based Mangrove Mapping and Change Detections for Sustainable Development in Tien Yen District, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam
Vietnam secures a place among the top countries that possess the largest mangrove areas worldwide. The mangrove forests are mainly found in the Northern, Northeast, Central and Southern Delta, providing goods to habitants, and make significant help mitigate global climate change.

| description | Vietnam secures a place among the top countries that possess the largest mangrove areas worldwide. The mangrove forests are mainly found in the Northern, Northeast, Central and Southern Delta, providing goods to habitants, and make significant help mitigate global climate change. Despite this, mangroves are severely threatened because of extensive deforestation in Vietnam. Recent advances have utilized remotely sensed imagery to present the spatial and temporal distribution of mangroves. Nevertheless, the approach is limited by imagery availability and computing resources, and difficult to share within the community. Therefore, a shareable Web-based tool that reinforces coastal managers to monitor the changes in mangroves is needed. Recently, Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based geospatial analysis platform, which allows users to freely exploit the availability of satellite imagery and harness their computing capacity. This research aims to use GEE to detect mangrove changes, a case study in Tien Yen district, Quang Ninh, over a period from 2010 to 2020. Four supervised classification algorithms, including Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes classifier, and Classification and Regression Trees (CART) have been implemented on GEE platform to select the best algorithm to produce spatial-temporal mangrove maps, then change detection of mangroves is performed. The results showed that RF demonstrated the highest accuracy with overall accuracy and kappa values of 91.04% and 0.75 respectively. The mangrove areas statistically reported by the GEE-based platform are in line with the governmental statistic report annually, marking the capabilities of GEE in natural resource management. |
