Seagrass
A window into some of the projects I lead or contribute to.
Seagrass mapping from Sentinel-2 at Ramsar sites
Seagrass is an important component of a number of Victoria's shallow water embayments that are listed by the Australian Government as wetlands of international importance:
- The Port Phillip (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar Site
- The Corner Inlet Ramsar Site
- The Gippsland Lakes Ramsar Site
Simple maximum likelihood classification of Sentinel-2 imagery has provided a cost effective way to monitor seasonal and inter-annual shifts in seagrass extent at these sites. It does require clear skys and water!
