Abstract:
"Remote Sensing of Aquatic Coastal Ecosystem Processes presents many examples of remote sensing tools which could be used in an operational sense for the benefit of managment of variousl aspects of coastal ecosystems. This chapter presents the world's first global operational satellite products designed specifically to help coral reef managers map and monitor anomalous sea surface temperatures (SST) and hence better understand and predict mass coral bleaching. These products are possibly the only global suite of opertional satellite procuts currently being used for the management of any marine ecosystem."
