Cover Story: Accurate information on land use and land cover (LULC) is crucial for effective regional land and forest management. This study addresses the challenge of obtaining reliable LULC information of an intricate Wunbaik Mangrove Area in Myanmar by employing a U-Net deep learning model with multisource satellite imageries. The models are trained and assessed using labeled images created from ground truth and evaluated for each class. The study will contribute to the optimal utilization of multisource remote sensing data and advanced classification methods for accurate LULC mapping of mangrove ecosystems. The proposed findings on LULC information have practical implications for implementing conservation measures, thereby contributing to the sustainable management of this unique mangrove forest area. View this paper
