Sittang River estuary at head of Gulf of Martaban. (a) Map of study area on Landsat satellite image. (b) Topographic/Bathymetric map of study area based on Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM 1 Arc-Second Global elevation data courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey, https://lta.cr.usgs.gov/SRTM1Arc) and General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans data (The GEBCO Digital Atlas published by the British Oceanographic Data Centre on behalf of IOC and IHO, 2003). (c) Rapid bank erosion on west side of Sittang River estuary. Peak erosion rate reached as high as 3 km/yr. These images were created from Landsat imagery. (d) Aerial photograph of survey site on September 17th, 2018. Tree-planted areas are small villages of rice farmers, and one in centre, Mamauk, was being abandoned due to severe erosion at time of survey.
