Underwater acoustics Close Window

A more detailed explanation of undewater acoustic mapping techniques and assessment of their capabilties can be found at http://www.coastal.crc.org.au/cwhm/toolkit/technical_1_CA.html

The following table shows what is possible with underwater acoustics

Environment type | Subtidal depth>boat draft (depth>secchi depth) | Subtidal visability>1m (depth>secchi depth)
Seagrass cover | High | Medium | Low | High | Medium | Low
Substrate type (Seagrass/non-seagrass) |  |  |  |  |  |
Seagrass cover |  |  |  |  |  |
Seagrass biomass |  |  |  |  |  |
Seagrass species |  |  |  |  |  |
