51F earth observations
51F-37-059 (29 July-6 Aug 1985) --- The mouth of the Betsiboka River in northwest Madagascar is seen. The estuary at Mahajanga is being quickly filled with river borne sediments due to poor land management, mainly deforest-action in the river basin. Changes in the estuary can be seen from one Shuttle flight to the next.
