This Project is one of efforts to respond to the multifaceted challenges confronting farmers and policymakers in the coastal agroecological regions of Guyana. It aims to integrate cutting-edge remote sensing technologies. This platform uses the Landsat 8 imagery (from 2015 to 2023) to assess temporal changes and shifts in soil salinity, vegetation health, and water availability within Guyana’s coastal agroecological zones, as an example of the utilisation of these indices as monitoring tools for decision making. Using environmental indices like the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), the Modified Soil -Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), the Normalised Difference Salinity Index (NDSI) and the Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI) as key indicators, the spatial and temporal variations are used as tools to assess significant trends in this coastal environment. The analyses on this platform provide practical inferences to support the evaluation of agroecological dynamics in the coastal agriculture environment. This platform seeks to provide users with the tool to evaluate the dynamics of coastal agroecosystems in Guyana using vegetation and environmental indices derived from Landsat imagery. You are welcome to explore these monitoring tools as a Decision Support System. Please note that we will continue to develop this platform.
