Abstract

Mapping the distribution of seagrass beds at Nirwana Beach in Padang City aims to see changes in seagrass meadow area that occurred within a period of five years, namely from 2017 to 2022.The image used is Landsat 8 Imagery, The method used to detect seagrass beds is the Lyzenga algorithm, this method is used to obtain object information below the surface of the water, Because the information obtained from the initial image is still mixed with other information such as water depth, turbidity, and water table movement. The two channels used in detecting this aquatic bottom information are the blue band and the green band which have wavelengths corresponding to the ratio of attenuation coefficients required by the logarithmic formula of lyzenga. The interpretation results show a decrease in seagrass area within five years, namely from 2017 to 2022 by 6.96 ha. The Lyzenga Algorithm method is the most suitable method for detecting seagrass beds at Nirwana Beach in Padang City.
