This review examines the various strategies and methods used to produce benthic habitat
maps using acoustic remote sensing techniques, coupled with in situ sampling. The …

Building a high-precision bathymetry digital elevation model is essential for navigation
planning, marine and lake resource planning, port construction, and underwater …

Pressure on deep-sea ecosystems continues to increase as anthropogenic activities move
into ever deeper waters. To mitigate impacts on vulnerable habitats, various conservation …

Human impacts on the seafloor environment have reached unprecedented levels. To
facilitate ocean management and mitigate these impacts, there is a need to improve our …

The coastal waters of the Maltese Islands, central Mediterranean Sea, sustain a diversity of
marine habitats and support a wide range of human activities. The islands' shallow waters …

The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires European states to
maintain their marine waters in 'Good Environmental Status'. The MSFD includes 11 …

Multibeam echosounders (MBES) are increasingly becoming the tool of choice for marine
habitat map** applications. In turn, the rapid expansion of habitat map** studies has …

In this study, we present a framework for seagrass habitat map** in shallow (5–50 m) and
very shallow water (0–5 m) by combining acoustic, optical data and Object-based Image …

In this work, multibeam echosounder (MBES) and dual frequency sidescan sonar (SSS) data
are combined to map the shallow (5–100 m) benthic habitats of the National Marine Park of …

As discussed in the first part of this review paper, Remote Sensing (RS) systems are great
tools to study various oceanographic parameters. Part I of this study described different …
