There is the largest intertidal mudflat in Changhua coast, which provided the feeding habitats for shorebirds in migration and wintering seasons. With the economic development, the intertidal zone in Changhua coast disappeared due to reclamation in Changhua Coastal Industrial Park (CCIP) that caused shorebirds to leave mudflat and look for roosting site in inland area. However, extensive gravel land by reclaimed in industrial area was the best roosting sites before. Some gravel lands became factories and gravel lands by human development or natural succession and were no longer suitable for shorebirds. In order to understand the effect of landscape changes on shorebird populations, we use satellite remote sensing and unsupervised classification to analyze the area of land types of CCIP and compare monitoring data of shorebirds.
