The Mobile–Tensaw Delta, one of the largest and most dynamic wetland systems on the U.S. the Gulf Coast plays a pivotal role in regulating carbon and water fluxes, supporting biodiversity, and providing protection against coastal hazards. However, this complex socio-ecological system is undergoing rapid transformation due to land-use change, vegetation degradation, and increasing climatic stressors such as hurricanes and storms. Thus, this research aims to investigate how land-cover dynamics influence carbon-water exchanges and the ecological resilience of deltaic habitats. Using a combination of remote sensing datasets (MODIS and ECOSTRESS), and modeling approaches, the study quantifies variations in gross primary productivity (GPP), evapotranspiration (ET), and vegetation indices along disturbance-recovery gradients. The results highlight the interplay between vegetation structure, hydrological regulation, and carbon-sequestration potential under restoration and conservation scenarios. By integrating biophysical indicators with resilience and stewardship frameworks, this work contributes to the development of climate-smart strategies for habitat restoration and sustainable management in the Gulf region.
