Artificial Attraction: Linking Vessel Monitoring System and Habitat Data to Assess Commercial Exploitation on Artificial Structures in the Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine artificial structures provide important ecosystem benefits, but the extent to which commercially valuable reef fish species and their associated fisheries utilize artificial structures is still undetermined.

A global map of terrestrial habitat types [PDF]

Scientific Data, 2020
AbstractWe provide a global, spatially explicit characterization of 47 terrestrial habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) habitat classification scheme, which is widely used in ecological analyses, including for quantifying species’ Area of Habitat.

Harmonizing Multi-Source Sonar Backscatter Datasets for Seabed Mapping Using Bulk Shift Approaches

Remote Sensing, 2020
The development of multibeam echosounders (MBES) as a seabed mapping tool has resulted in the widespread uptake of backscatter intensity as an indicator of seabed substrate properties.

Intuitively visualizing spatial data from biogeographic assessments: A 3-dimensional case study on remotely sensing historic shipwrecks and associated marine life

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
Biogeographic assessments aim to determine spatial and temporal distributions of organisms and habitats to help inform resource management decisions. In marine systems, rapid technological advances in sensors employed for biogeographic assessments allow ...

Mapping for coral reef conservation: comparing the value of participatory and remote sensing approaches

Ecosphere, 2016
Detailed habitat maps are critical for conservation planning, yet for many coastal habitats only coarse‐resolution maps are available. As the logistic and technological constraints of habitat mapping become increasingly tractable, habitat map comparisons

Incorporating uncertainty associated with habitat data in marine reserve design [PDF]

, 2013
One of the most pervasive forms of uncertainty in data used to make conservation decisions is error associated with mapping of conservation features.

Modelling habitats in karst landscape by integrating remote sensing and topography data

Open Geosciences, 2018
Field mapping is an accurate but also time consuming method of detailed mapping of habitat types. Levels of habitat types are usually hierarchically nested at several levels.

Fully convolutional neural networks applied to large-scale marine morphology mapping

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In this study we applied for the first time Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNNs) to a marine bathymetric dataset to derive morphological classes over the entire Irish continental shelf.

Assessing the use of harmonized multisource backscatter data for thematic benthic habitat mapping

Science of Remote Sensing, 2021
Legacy seabed mapping datasets are increasingly common as the need for detailed seabed information is recognized. Acoustic backscatter data from multibeam echosounders can be a useful surrogate for seabed properties and are commonly used for benthic ...
