Oil spill impacts on mangrove forest from satellite remote sensing

The mangrove forest has been continuously threatened by oil spills occurring on the sea surfaces. The oil spills pose and cause severe and long-term effect havoc on mangrove forests that sustain them. Previous research has found that satellite remote sensing technologies are one of the most effectiv...
