Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.To achieve the UN's goal of protecting 30% of oceans by 2030, effective management and detailed seafloor mapping are essential, especially in the mesophotic zone. We present a new workflow combining high‐resolution synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) and bathymetry surveys for efficient habitat characterization. In 6 h, we mapped ~5 km2 of a mesophotic reef,
