Description:"This document describes a cooperative program to develop and evaluate techniques for mapping submerged seagrasses using aircraft - supported remote sensors. Submerged seagrasses are emphasized for several reasons: their wide geographic and habitat-type distribution have heretofore precluded adequate distributional maps; most marine ecologists agree that these plants are essential to the well being and productivity of most commercially important fishery resources in the Gulf of Mexico; and, because of their shallow subtidal and, to some extent, intertidal existence, these plants are subject to man-induced stresses both from the shore (pollutant effluents) and water (dredge and fill)"--Introduction.
