This chapter summarizes the history, observation targets, and image processing methods of multispectral remote sensing of coral reefs. A variety of applications are presented in a progression from image classification an

Acoustic Applicationsls are well-suited for the clear and shallow waters of the typical coral reef setting, they are less useful for mapping in shallow turbid coastal waters or in mesophotic depths (30–75?m), where considerable coral reefs are known to exist. Acoustic remote sensing systems are relatively insensitive to

This chapter describes a combined acoustic survey approach used to acquire high-spatial resolution (up to 0.5?m) maps from two cold-water coral sites in the Straits of Florida. The approach consists of reconnaissance surveys using hull-mounted multi-beam systems, followed by deplo

The technology is mature and considerable effort has gone into creating high-quality time-series, climatologies, and issue-specific products to help managers and lay-people assess the risk of thermal stress in marine ecosystems.
