Three aspects have been considered under this program: (1) monitoring the long term variability of sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity, pH, and chlorophyll concentration over the Bay of Bengal using satellite based records as vital indicators of changing climate in the maritime regime; (2) monitoring the land use and land cover changes in near shore and offshore islands of Bangladesh; and (3) tracking the coastal geo-morphological dynamics and shoreline positions including accretion-erosion trends along the Bangladesh coasts, applying remote sensing (RS) and GIS tools.
