Mapping, Monitoring and Modelling Seagrass Using Remote Sensing Techniques

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Seagrasses of Australia

Abstract

This chapter explains the types of information on the biophysical properties of seagrass and its surrounding environments, which are able to be measured, mapped, monitored and/or modelled using remote sensing techniques. This includes specifying the environmental conditions where these approaches do not work. “Remote sensing” refers to the use of a sensor not in direct contact with the target to measure one or more of its bio-geo-physical-chemical properties. This includes measurements from satellites, airborne , and remotely operated or autonomous above- and below-water systems. Six key topics are covered to show how remote sensing and its integration with ecological field survey methods, ecological theory and modelling, is an operational and accessible tool. Chapters 7, 9–11 in this book are complementary as they explain the biological and physiological bases of seagrasses and how they interact with light. The text is written from ecological perspective to explain “how to” implement remote sensing approaches at scales relevant to science and management problems. Specific details are presented for mapping and monitoring seagrass: extent, composition and biophysical properties from plant to rhizome and regional scales over 103 km2.
