The intertidal ecosystem serves as a critical transitional zone between terrestrial and marine environments, supporting diverse biodiversity essential ecological functions. However, these systems are increasingly threatened by climate change, rising sea levels, anthropogenic impacts. Accurately mapping ecosystems differentiating mangroves, salt marshes, tidal flats remains challenge due to inconsistencies in classification frameworks. Here, we present high-precision approach for using multi-source satellite data, including Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat 8/9, integrated with the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, enable detailed of zones across China–ASEAN. Our findings indicate total area 73,461 km2 China–ASEAN, an average width 1.16 km. Analyses patch area, abundance, perimeter relationships reveal power-law distribution scaling exponent 1.52, suggesting self-organizing characteristics shaped both natural human pressures. offer foundational data guide conservation management strategies region’s novel perspective propel research on global coastal ecosystems.
