How can we leverage advanced technologies such as AI and satellite-based remote sensing to monitor and protect mangrove ecosystems, ensuring their survival and sustainability in the UAE?
The UAE Space Agency has been at the forefront of advancing satellite technology, space research, and sustainability-driven innovation. As part of its commitment to leveraging space technology for environmental conservation, this challenge focuses on Abu Dhabi’s mangrove ecosystems, which are essential for coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. Despite their ecological importance, mangroves are increasingly threatened by climate change, rising sea levels, and human activities. Traditional monitoring methods are often limited in scope, time-intensive, and unable to provide real-time insights on ecosystem health and degradation patterns. Advanced technologies such as AI, satellite-based remote sensing, and GIS present a transformative opportunity to enhance mangrove monitoring, predict environmental risks, and drive data-driven conservation strategies. By analyzing historical trends, assessing current conditions, and forecasting future changes, AI-powered solutions can provide actionable insights to support sustainable ecosystem management.
