Coral reefs in Dcrawan Islands are astonishingly rich in the marine diversity. However, these reefs are threatened by humans. Destructive fishing methods, such as trawl, blasting and cyanide fishing practise, are found to be the main cause of this degradation. The coral reefs habitat reduction is also caused by tourism activities due to trampling over the reef and charging organic and anorganic wastes. The capabilities of satellite remote sensing techniques combined with field data collection have been assessed for the coral reef mapping and the change detection of Derawan Island. Multi-temporal Landsat TM and ETM images (1991 and 2002) have been used. Comparison of the classified images of 1991 and 2002 shows spatial changes of the habitat. The changes were in accordance with the known changes in the reef conditions. The analysis shows the decrease of the coral reef and patchy seagrass percentage, while the increase of the algae composite and patchy reef percentage.

The evaluation of the changes a particular location undergoes over several years may be carried out with the analysis of images in different periods of time. The objective of this study was to carry out the multi-temporal analysis of the land use on the Sarandi River watershed that has predominance of family farms and high agricultural potential and is located in the Southwest mesoregion of the state of Paraná, Southern Brazil. To verify the changes of land use in the basin was necessary to apply the linear image enhancement technique to improve spectral information and facilitate images interpretation. The classification method used was supervised as the Bhattacharya classifier, on LANDSAT/TM satellite’s images, from 1985 to 2010. The data were processed by SPRING and the results showed along these 25 years a 0.40% decline in forest cover, with decrease in grazing areas in a ratio of 4.21% and around 6.64% for exposed soil and a increase of 10.52% in agriculture, 0.62% in urban area and 0.11% in water blade. The evaluation of the accuracy of the mappings generated was made using as reference the images LANDSA/TM, IK ranged between (97.2 98.7%) and EG medium was 98% which indicates the efficiency of the classifier.
