Investigation on possibility of mangrove regeneration: a case study from Indian Sundarbans.

Mangroves serve as biotic fences of estuarine belts consisting of salt-tolerant plants that grow in intertidal zones and can be regenerated naturally as well as artificially. Mangrove regeneration refers to the process of restoring or rebuilding mangrove ecosystems that have been already degraded, damaged, or lost from their native place through the monitoring of geomorphological, taxonomical, pedological, and ecological aspects. The primary objective of this study was based on the remote sensing application through several important health monitoring indices over the minute part of Indian Sundarbans to prove the possibility of mangrove regeneration.
