Benthic Habitats

, 2023
AbstractShallow-water coastal benthic habitats, which can comprise seagrasses, sandy soft bottoms, and coral reefs are essential ecosystems, supporting fisheries, providing coastal protection, and sequestering ‘blue’ carbon. Multispectral satellite imagery, particularly with blue and green spectral bands, can penetrate clear, shallow water, allowing us

Estimation of the Benthic Habitat Zonation by Photo-Quadrat Image Analysis along the Fringing Reef of Weno Island, Chuuk, Micronesia

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Benthic habitat zonation is described from in situ observations and seabed photographs taken from the coastal area of Weno Island, Chuuk, Micronesia. Habitat groups, types, and boundaries are defined by visible substratum characteristics (i.e., in situ ...

A hybrid CART-GAMs model to evaluate benthic macroinvertebrate habitat suitability in the Pearl River Estuary, China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Benthic macroinvertebrates are an important part of the aquatic food chain in estuaries. Therefore, understanding their associated habitat requirements is critical in maintaining estuarine ecosystem stability, which has until now been evaluated using ...

Inconsistent relationships among protection, benthic assemblage, habitat complexity and fish biomass in Mediterranean temperate rocky reefs

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been proved to effectively protect and restore fish assemblages. There is mixed evidence regarding the effects of MPAs on benthic assemblages, habitat complexity, and how protection might mediate the effects of habitat ...

Semiautomated Mapping of Benthic Habitats and Seagrass Species Using a Convolutional Neural Network Framework in Shallow Water Environments

Remote Sensing, 2020
Benthic habitats are structurally complex and ecologically diverse ecosystems that are severely vulnerable to human stressors. Consequently, marine habitats must be mapped and monitored to provide the information necessary to understand ecological ...

Automatic Semantic Segmentation of Benthic Habitats Using Images from Towed Underwater Camera in a Complex Shallow Water Environment

Remote Sensing, 2022
Underwater image segmentation is useful for benthic habitat mapping and monitoring; however, manual annotation is time-consuming and tedious. We propose automated segmentation of benthic habitats using unsupervised semantic algorithms.
