Seabed Classification and Analysis

Seabed classification and analysis in hydrographic surveying involves mapping the underwater terrain and determining the types of materials on the seafloor, such as sand, mud, or rock. Using advanced technology like sonar and underwater cameras, surveyors gather data to create detailed maps. This information is essential for various applications, including navigation safety, environmental monitoring, and resource management. By understanding the seabed characteristics, scientists and engineers can make informed decisions about construction projects, marine ecosystems, and underwater infrastructure development.
