Shallow Water Bathymetry

Shallow water bathymetry is the study of the underwater landscape in bodies of water where the depth is relatively shallow, typically up to about 200 meters. It involves mapping and measuring the sea floor's features, such as depths, ridges, and valleys, which are important for navigation, environmental monitoring, and understanding ecosystems. This information is gathered using various technologies, including sonar and satellite imagery, helping scientists and engineers to manage coastal resources, assess habitats, and respond to natural disasters like floods or hurricanes.
