Ocean Colour Remote Sensing

Ocean Colour Remote Sensing is the use of satellite imagery to observe and analyze the color of the ocean's surface. The color variations indicate factors like phytoplankton concentration, water quality, and nutrient levels. By examining these colors, scientists can monitor marine ecosystems, track pollution, and assess the health of oceans. This technology helps in understanding climate change and supports fisheries management by providing valuable data without the need to physically sample the water. Essentially, it’s a way to "see" what's happening in our oceans from space, aiding in conservation efforts and sustainable practices.
