Seagrass meadows are key elements of marine ecosystems as they affect the physical,
chemical and biological environment and provide habitats for fish and invertebrates. Human …

Ocean biodiversity loss is being driven by several anthropogenic threats and significant
efforts are required to halt losses and promote healthy marine ecosystems. The …

Bathymetry mapping forms the basis of understanding physical, economic, and ecological
processes in the vastly biodiverse coastal fringes of our planet which are subjected to …

The establishment of multibeam echosounders (MBES), as a mainstream tool in ocean
mapping, has facilitated integrative approaches towards nautical charting, benthic habitat …

In this study, we present a framework for seagrass habitat mapping in shallow (5–50 m) and
very shallow water (0–5 m) by combining acoustic, optical data and Object-based Image …

Recently, the rapid development of the seabed mapping industry has allowed researchers to
collect hydroacoustic data in shallow, nearshore environments. Progress in marine habitat …

Benthic habitat mapping is a rapidly growing field of underwater remote sensing studies.
This study provides the first insight for high-resolution hydroacoustic surveys in the Slupsk …

In this work, multibeam echosounder (MBES) and dual frequency sidescan sonar (SSS) data
are combined to map the shallow (5–100 m) benthic habitats of the National Marine Park of …

In this study we applied for the first time Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNNs) to a
marine bathymetric dataset to derive morphological classes over the entire Irish continental …

Multi-frequency multibeam backscatter (BS) has indicated, in particular for fine sediments,
the potential for increasing the discrimination between different seabed environments. Fine …
