Multi- and hyperspectral classification of soft-bottom intertidal vegetation using a spectral library for coastal biodiversity remote sensing

Bede Ffinian Rowe Davies et al.

Summary: Monitoring biodiversity and the impact of human activities is crucial due to anthropogenic climate change. Intertidal areas face high pressures due to increased population density in coastal regions. Remote sensing is being increasingly used to monitor intertidal areas as traditional methods are not cost-effective or timely. However, accurately distinguishing between vegetation classes such as seagrass and green algae using multispectral data has proved challenging, often requiring hyperspectral data.

Ice-Ice disease: An environmentally and microbiologically driven syndrome in tropical seaweed aquaculture

Georgia M. Ward et al.

Summary: Seaweeds play a significant role in global aquaculture production, with red algae like eucheumatoids being commercially cultivated for carrageenan production. 'Ice-ice' disease (IID) presents a major challenge in eucheumatoid cultivation, causing bleaching and tissue disintegration in affected algae. By utilizing comprehensive approaches, including high-throughput sequencing and high-quality microscopy, a better understanding of IID's pathological and microbiological processes can be achieved to mitigate economic losses.

Quantification of Underwater Sargassum Aggregations Based on a Semi-Analytical Approach Applied to Sentinel-3/OLCI (Copernicus) Data in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean

Lea Schamberger et al.

Summary: Sargassum is a species of algae that drifts in the tropical Atlantic Ocean, and the number of Sargassum aggregations has increased in the Caribbean Sea. This study proposes a methodology for detecting underwater Sargassum aggregations using satellite data. The results show that the proposed method can retrieve more Sargassum aggregations compared to the traditional method. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of considering underwater aggregations for understanding Sargassum variability in oceanic and coastal ecosystems.

An Automated Method for Mapping Giant Kelp Canopy Dynamics from UAV

Katherine C. Cavanaugh et al.

Summary: Satellite and aerial imagery have been extensively used for mapping the distribution of giant kelp in southern California, and now there is potential for using UAVs to map kelp canopy at high resolutions. Tidal height and current speed were found to impact the amount of floating kelp canopy, with UAVs proving to be valuable tools for mapping these changes. The accuracy of the UAV imagery was 93% across various conditions, providing insight into the variability of kelp abundance.
