The knowledge of mangrove conditions is essential to know the statuses of mangroves. Recently, satellite imagery has been widely used to generate mangrove and degradation mapping. Sentinel-2 is a volume of free satellite image data that has a temporal resolution of 5 days. When Hurricane Irma hit the southwest Florida coastal zone in 2017, it caused mangrove degradation. The relationship of satellite images between pre and post-hurricane events can provide a deeper understanding of the degraded mangrove areas that were affected by Hurricane Irma. This study proposed an MDPrePost-Net that considers images before and after hurricanes to classify non-mangrove, intact\/healthy mangroves, and degraded mangroves classes affected by Hurricane Irma in southwest Florida using Sentinel-2 data. MDPrePost-Net is an end-to-end fully convolutional network (FCN) that consists of two main sub-models. The first sub-model is a pre-post deep feature extractor used to extract the spatial\u2013spectral\u2013temporal relationship between the pre, post, and mangrove conditions after the hurricane from the satellite images and the second sub-model is an FCN classifier as the classification part from extracted spatial\u2013spectral\u2013temporal deep features. Experimental results show that the accuracy and Intersection over Union (IoU) score by the proposed MDPrePost-Net for degraded mangrove are 98.25% and 96.82%, respectively. Based on the experimental results, MDPrePost-Net outperforms the state-of-the-art FCN models (e.g., U-Net, LinkNet, FPN, and FC-DenseNet) in terms of accuracy metrics. In addition, this study found that 26.64% (41,008.66 Ha) of the mangrove area was degraded due to Hurricane Irma along the southwest Florida coastal zone and the other 73.36% (112,924.70 Ha) mangrove area remained intact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13245042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,13]],"date-time":"2021-12-13T01:29:33Z","timestamp":1639358973000},"page":"5042","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["MDPrePost-Net: A Spatial-Spectral-Temporal Fully Convolutional Network for Mapping of Mangrove Degradation Affected by Hurricane Irma 2017 Using Sentinel-2 Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6928-4951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilham","family":"Jamaluddin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research, National Central University, No. 300, Jhongda Rd., Jhongli Dist., Taoyuan City 32001, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2538-1108","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tipajin","family":"Thaipisutikul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Mahidol University, 999 Phuttamonthon 4 Rd., Salaya, Nakhon Pathom 73170, Thailand"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5448-9900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ying-Nong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research, National Central University, No. 300, Jhongda Rd., Jhongli Dist., Taoyuan City 32001, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Central University, No. 300, Jhongda Rd., Jhongli Dist., Taoyuan City 32001, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Chi-Hung","family":"Chuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Informatics, Fo Guang University, No. 160, Linwei Rd., Jiaoxi Township, Yilan City 262307, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Chih-Lin","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Engineering, National Central University, No. 300, Jhongda Rd., Jhongli Dist., Taoyuan City 32001, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1466-8238.2010.00584.x","article-title":"Status and Distribution of Mangrove Forests of The World Using Earth Observation Satellite Data","volume":"20","author":"Giri","year":"2011","journal-title":"Glob.
