The project component presented in this web page deals with the investigation of using remotely sensed images, in digital format, to help monitor changes within the restoration site. The parameters that were of interest for monitoring were sedimentation of the restoration site waters and erosion of the small channels connecting the Bay and restoration site. The project included looking at both digital satellite images and digitized aerial photography. However, it became clear early on that due to the size of the features of interest, particularly the small drainage channels, not only was the spatial resolution of the satellite images generally too low (30-meter), but that ground-based digital photographs should also be included. Shown below are examples of the three different types of images used in our investigation and a short discussion on their applicability for monitoring the restoration site.
