A high-resolution benthic mapping service that identifies seagrass extent, density, and health to support biodiversity monitoring and blue carbon accounting

This service enables quantification of seagrass extent, density, and changes in extents and health across large geographic areas over time. This vital capability, which supports seagrass monitoring initiatives, marine protected area management, environmental impact assessments, and blue carbon accounting, is delivered at resolutions as detailed as 30 cm. Seagrass mapping is achieved by custom sensor fusion algorithms that combine the high spatial resolution from multispectral sensors with the detailed spectral information from hyperspectral data. Delivery formats are flexible and customized to project requirements and goals, including GIS-ready files and analysis-ready dashboards.
