Seagrass Habitat Mapping

Seagrass habitat mapping involves identifying and recording where different types of seagrass grow underwater. This process uses tools like underwater cameras, sonar, and satellite images to create detailed maps of seagrass areas. These maps help scientists and conservationists understand the health, extent, and changes in seagrass ecosystems, which are vital for marine life, water quality, and coastal protection. Accurate mapping supports effective management and restoration efforts to preserve these important underwater habitats.
