English: The Betsiboka River Estuary is the mouth of the largest river of Madagascar. Nearly a century of logging of Madagascar's rainforests and mangrove forests has resulted in complete deforestation and significant rates of land erosion. After heavy rain, the bright red soils, typical of the island, are washed away and end up in the waters of the river. This image, composed using two scenes acquired by Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 18 and 23 May 2020, allows a comparison of the sediment load transported in the waters of the Betsiboka River before and after heavy rains occurred between 19 and 20 May 2020. Data obtained from the Copernicus Sentinel missions, due their multispectral characteristics, are particularly suitable for monitoring coastal and soil erosion.
