Benthic Habitat Mapping

, 2016
Making deep-sea benthic habitat maps requires expensive and complex technologies to acquire, process and interpret remotely-sensed data. Recent technologies that have advanced the field significantly include side-scan sonar, multibeam echosounders, and ...

Spatial scale and geographic context in benthic habitat mapping: review and future directions [PDF]

Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2015
Understanding the effects of scale is essential to the understanding of natural eco -systems, particularly in marine environments where sampling is more limited and sporadic than in terrestrial environments.

GIS-based mapping of benthic habitats

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2003
The aim of the work was to map and analyse benthic habitats in the Polish zone of the Baltic Sea using the Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The habitats definitions were analogous to those proposed in the HELCOM classification, which is based on two concepts—the euphotic zone has no clearly defined boundaries and the bottom sediments are defined

SkySea: Connecting Satellite, UAV and Underwater Imagery for Benthic Habitat Mapping

Proceedings of the 2023 Workshop on UAVs in Multimedia: Capturing the World from a New Perspective, 2023
Satellite imagery, UAV imagery, and geo-referenced underwater photo transects (from the surface) are different methods used in marine monitoring and benthic habitat mapping applications to collect observations at different spatial scales. There are however challenges in linking them all together to provide fine-grained mapping and analysis for ...

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the mapping of benthic marine habitats

Journal of Environmental Management, 2013
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is the empirically accumulated knowledge of local communities whose livelihoods depend directly on natural resources. TEK has a considerable potential as a reliable, rapid and low cost information source. However, its use for decision making in environmental management is frequently challenged due to the lack of ...

Automatic Benthic Habitat Mapping using Inexpensive Underwater Drones

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
The generation of benthic habitat maps relies either on direct in-situ observations made by SCUBA divers swimming in a rectilinear fashion, or on costly remote sensing techniques involving either ROVs or sonar technology. The recent commercialisation of off-the-shelf underwater drones has enhanced benthic mapping possibilities by providing a cost ...

Benthic Habitat Mapping in the Tortugas Region, Florida

Marine Geodesy, 2003
Concern about declining trends in coral reef habitats and reef fish stocks in the Florida Keys contributed to the implementation of a network of no-take marine protected areas in 1997. In support of the efforts of the Dry Tortugas National Park and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to implement additional no-take areas in the Tortugas region in ...

Evaluation of classification techniques for benthic habitat mapping

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The coral ecosystem is sensitive to environmental changes thus accurate, up to date information on their status is critical for effective management of these important marine resources. However, environments containing these habitats are challenging to map due to their remoteness, extent and costs of monitoring.

Benthic habitat mapping using hyperspectral remote sensing

SPIE Proceedings, 2006
Benthic habitats are the different bottom environments as defined by distinct physical, geochemical, and biological characteristics. Remote sensing is increasingly being used to map and monitor the complex dynamics associated with estuarine and nearshore benthic habitats. Advantages of remote sensing technology include both the qualitative benefits

Toward adaptive benthic habitat mapping using gaussian process classification

Journal of Field Robotics, 2010
AbstractThis paper shows how existing methods of probabilistic least‐squares classification based on Gaussian processes can be used to construct a probabilistic representation of a habitat map using data collected by an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).
