Seagrass meadows are key elements of marine ecosystems as they affect the physical,
chemical and biological environment and provide habitats for fish and invertebrates. Human …

Seabed sediment classification using acoustic remote sensing technique is an attractive
approach due to its high coverage capabilities and limited costs compared to taking samples …

A method to map seafloor substrates using machine learning, based on geophysical data
including multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, and side-scan sonar, is currently being …

Improvements to acoustic seafloor map** systems have motivated novel marine
geological and benthic biological research. Multibeam echosounders (MBES) have become …

High-precision habitat map** can contribute to the identification and quantification of the
human footprint on the seafloor. As a representative of seafloor habitats, seabed sediment …

In this paper we present the seabed maps of the shallow-water areas of Lampedusa and
Linosa, belonging to the Pelagie Islands Marine Protected Area. Two surveys were carried …

This publication presents a newly created map of the seafloor of Linosa, a volcanic island
located in the Sicily Channel (Mediterranean Sea). The seafloor of Linosa was previously …

The aim of this study is to present the results of the first complete marine habitat map**
through marine remote sensing techniques in Gyaros Island, a remote island in the …

In the Mediterranean Sea, crustose coralline algae form endemic algal reefs known as
Coralligenous (C) build-ups. The high degree of complexity that C can reach through time …

We have developed an algorithm to map benthic habitats on the continental shelf of South
Africa, integrating marine geophysics and biological science. Multibeam bathymetry …
