Coastal Remote Sensing Toolkit Aim of the toolkit The aim of this toolkit is to show managers, scientists and technicians working in coastal environments how images collected from satellites and aircraft (remote sensing) can be used to map and monitor changes to indicators of coastal ecosystem health. Coastal environments We recognise that "coastal environments" encompass a broad range of ecosystems, however, this toolkit focuses on coastal water bodies, seagrass and coral reefs, and mangroves. A priority for future work is to extend the toolkit to cover all other coastal ecosystems. Passive remote sensing focus This toolkit focuses on sensors that measure reflected sunlight (passive systems), for more detail on active systems (e.g. acoustic technologies) please refer to www.coastalzone.org.au/cwhm/Toolkit/index.html Start using the toolkit Select a preferred interface for obtaining suitable remote sensing data and techniques from the toolkit:
