Abstract

The research problem of the current study focuses on the exploring of the spatial distribution of the seagrass meadows on the case study of P. oceanica, using aerial and satellite imagery over the 10-years period, to analyse its dynamics. Spectral reflectance characteristics of the seagrass enables its discrimination from other seafloor types, therefore, raster images processing using RS methods is highly suitable for the seagrass mapping. Current MSc research of the seagrass mapping is based on various sources of data: fieldwork in-situ measurements, satellite imagery, aerial imagery and GIS layers (maps of Crete), technically based on using GIS and RS methods (ENVI and ArcGIS software).
