Results of classified image concluded that the changes of sparse mangroves were +2892.78 ha, dense mangroves -350.55 ha. and mangrove scrub +1792.35 ha. Similarly the rate of erosion was 35.6238 sq. km. towards Gahirmatha beach and the deposition of 8.2134 sq. km. near the Maipura river of Bhitarkanika ecosystem from 1989 to 2013.
