NASA Earth on Instagram: "For over 50 years, @nasa/@usgs Landsat satellites have monitored Earth’s coastlines. While coastal ecosystems cover only a small portion of our planet, they play an important role: storing carbon, buffering storms, and sheltering wildlife.

For example, Landsat data has shown how hurricanes impact mangroves, expanding meadows of eelgrass, changes in water quality, and more. #Earth #NASA #Coast #Beach #Sci
