Abstract

Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) was used to assess mangrove ecosystem health and carbon sequestration in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua, Indonesia. The study used Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 satellite images and field validation data from October to November 2024 across ten transects. Environmental conditions were assessed using the Mangrove Health Index (MHI) methodology, and carbon stock was estimated using NDVI-based biomass estimates.At 99.58% of the 228,356.85-hectare research area, ecological health was excellent. Carbon stock research showed that 83.65% of the area had high carbon stocks over 60 tons C/ha, providing 12.24 million tons to regional storage. Field surveys found 13 true mangrove species from six families, with distinct zonation patterns: Avicennia species dominated seaward zones (IVI: 247.00-254.90), Rhizophora species dominated middle zones (IVI: 266.00-270.00), and Bruguiera-Xylocarpus complexes dominated landward zones. Ecosystem services analysis identified regulatory and provisioning activities, including coastal protection through 20-60% wave energy reduction and economic values of USD 17,000-30,500 per hectare. Remote sensing and ground-truthing created a strong monitoring system for evidence-based conservation planning and coastal resilience enhancement. Remote sensing technology and ground-truthing were combined to create a robust monitoring framework with 94% assessment accuracy and 400% improved spatial coverage efficiency, proving its efficacy for evidence-based conservation planning and coastal resilience enhancement strategies regardless of ecosystem condition.
