HabitatMapping the Coral Reefs of Hawaii and the Pacific U.S. Territories | Monitoring the Spread of Brown Marsh | Mapping Kelp Beds | Restoring and Preserving Wetlands and Riparian Zones | Determining Marine Protected Area Boundaries Mapping the Coral Reefs of Hawaii and the Pacific U.S. TerritoriesHigh resolution satellite imagery is being used to map the most remote coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. Maps of these areas are critical pieces of information for the management agencies that are responsible for protecting this fragile ecosystem. For additional information about this project, please see Coral Reef Mapping. About the DataProject Partners
Monitoring the Spread of Brown MarshMid-resolution multi-spectral imagery is being used to monitor the extent of brown marsh in coastal Louisiana. About the DataProject Partners
Mapping Kelp BedsIn Kachemak Bay, Alaska, oblique aerial photography is being used to map kelp beds. This is critical habitat to the fisheries ecosystem and particularly important for herring. About the DataProject Partners
Restoring and Preserving Wetlands and Riparian ZonesInterferometric synthetic aperture radar (IfSAR) data are being acquired in Southern California to provide consistent elevation information across large areas. The elevation data will be part of an inventory of information that will be critical to prioritizing the acquisition and restoration of wetland and riparian zones. For additional information about this project, please see Restoring and Preserving Wetlands and Riparian Areas. About the DataProject Partners
Determining Marine Protected Area BoundariesThe bathymetry of Monterey Canyon, California, is being mapped using multibeam sonar data. This is part of an effort to determine the locations for a network of marine protected areas along the coast. About the DataProject Partners |
