Remote Sensing in Marine Environments

Remote sensing in marine environments involves using satellites and aircraft equipped with sensors to collect data about oceans, seas, and coastal areas without direct contact. These sensors detect light, heat, and other signals reflected or emitted by water, allowing scientists to monitor water temperature, pollution levels, algae blooms, and sea surface conditions. This technology provides critical information for understanding marine ecosystems, managing fisheries, and safeguarding coastal regions, all while covering large areas efficiently and repeatedly.
