Mangrove Health Analysis Using Sentinel-2A Image with NDVI Classification Method

Abstract

This study aims to determine 1) the mangrove vegetation density index, 2) the health of mangrove plants in Sungai Batang Village to Kuala Secapah. The data used in this study is the image of Sentinel-2A, dated June 8, 2020. The data taken are vegetation density (NDVI) and mangrove health. The method in this study uses the vegetation index transformation (NDVI). Data analysis used the supervised classification method and the vegetation density index (NDVI). The results showed that the NDVI value of -1 – 0.32 indicates a sparse vegetation density, a value of 0.33 – 0.42 indicates a medium density and 0.43 – 1 indicates a dense density. From this NDVI index value, it can be used as a basis for classifying the health of mangrove vegetation. The health of mangrove vegetation based on the vegetation index value of 0.43 – 1 (meet) indicates that the health of the mangrove vegetation is very good. Vegetation value 0.33 – 0.42 (moderate) indicates good health of mangrove vegetation and vegetation index value -1 – 0.32 (rare) indicates poor vegetation health. Mangrove health level is very good with an area of 3.0314 km 2, healthy has an area of 0.204806 km 2 and poor health has an area of 0.625875 km 2.
