Abstract

The chapter describes the research strategy, which was used to integrate remote sensing data, aerial photographs and point data provided by fieldwork from different scientific fields within the MADAM project and their respective outputs. Using various innovative processing techniques and different scale resolution levels, an assessment of temporal–spatial changes of the mangrove peninsula and the adjacent rural socio-economic impact area, the type of mangrove structure as well as a land use cover analysis was undertaken. The definition of the spatial level of detail was found to be a major issue during the processing and analysis procedures. The deeper understanding of the cause-and-consequences of change is a necessity in order to allow for reasonable predictions of likely development trajectories into the future and to elaborate on potential thresholds of concerns at which management measures would be timely. The relevance of scale resolution in this context implies the need for different management measures and sets of specific interdisciplinary studies and monitoring at nested scales.
