This review evaluates various methods employed to produce seagrass habitat maps using
optical and acoustic remote-sensing (RS) techniques coupled with in situ sampling to …

Technical advancements have widened the limits of remote sensing in mapping shallow
water benthic habitats and bathymetry over the last decades. On the other hand, the needs …

Seagrass ecosystems sequester carbon at disproportionately high rates compared to
terrestrial ecosystems and represent a powerful potential contributor to climate change …

Providing accurate maps of coral reefs where the spatial scale and labels of the mapped
features correspond to map units appropriate for examining biological and geomorphic …

The spatial and temporal dynamics of seagrasses have been studied from the leaf to patch
(100 m 2) scales. However, landscape scale (> 100 km 2) seagrass population dynamics …

Long term global archives of high-moderate spatial resolution, multi-spectral satellite
imagery are now readily accessible, but are not being fully utilised by management …

Coral reef maps at various spatial scales and extents are needed for mapping, monitoring,
modelling, and management of these environments. High spatial resolution satellite …

Maps of nearshore marine habitat are fundamental tools for the management and
conservation of coastal ecosystems. While traditional field mapping techniques, such as …

Seagrasses are rapidly losing their ability to serve ecosystem services (ESs) with the loss of
global biodiversity and coastal habitat degradation over the past few decades. Monitoring …

The offshore extent of seagrass habitat along the West Florida (USA) coast represents an
important corridor for inshore-offshore migration of economically important fish and shellfish …
