Abstract

Tanjung Piai is one of the capes under District of Pontian, Johor. It is located at the southernmost point of Peninsular Malaysia. Tanjung Piai is famous with the Tanjung Piai National Park, which is the smallest, but most visited among five national parks in Johor. This national park is surrounded by mangrove trees which maintain the ecosystem in good condition and provide services to the environment and the surroundings. This paper analyses the land cover of mangrove forests in Pontian District by using different satellite images. The analysis on the land cover of mangrove forests helps to maintain its sustainability and monitor its changes over the years. To observe the changes of the mangrove forests, we compared 9 satellite images from different places such as South Pontian, Pulau Kukup, and Tanjung Piai in 7 years (2013-2020). The results showed mangrove forests in Tanjung Piai maintained in a good condition over the 7 years and kept its sustainability. In order to maintain the sustainability of the mangrove forests, this study emphasizes the need or suggestions to take into account the environmental changes on the mangrove forests.
