Seagrass communities provide critical ecosystem and provisioning services for both human
populations and a wide range of associated species globally. However, it has been reported …

Satellite remote sensing is an efficient and economical technique for studying coastal
bottoms in clear and shallow waters. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is the …

Aerial surveys in coastal areas using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) present many
limitations. However, the need for detailed and accurate information in a marine …

Long-term field monitoring of shoreline changes is time-consuming, expensive, and labor-
intensive. Instead, satellite images can be used as an alternative method to collect field data …

Seagrass habitats are ecologically valuable and play an important role in sequestering and
storing carbon. There is, thus, a need to estimate seagrass percentage cover in diverse …

Macroalgae are a fundamental component of coastal ecosystems and play a key role in
sha** community structure and functioning. Macroalgae are currently threatened by …

The availability of frequently updated maps has always been the ultimate goal of remote
sensing in benthic habitat data acquisition. Although the techniques offer cost and time …

Map** of the distribution of individual seagrass species is essential for any attempts to
manage seagrass ecosystems. It is therefore important to understand how the spectra of …

In the epoch of the human-induced climate change, seagrasses can mitigate the resulting
negative impacts due to their carbon sequestration ability. The endemic and dominant in the …

Remote sensing technology has been widely used in various applications related to natural
resources and environment monitoring. In this paper, we evaluated the capability of new …
