This report describes the application of high resolution of ALOS AVNIR-2 satellite images for mapping, monitoring and evaluating the living resources in some coastal zones of Indonesia. A total of 15 set ALOS AVNIR-2 images were used for analyzing the unique and very large area of tropical coastal zone ecosystems, such as coral reefs, seagrasses, and mangroves, as well as the potency of living resources within those ecosystems.
