Remote sensing methods to map and monitor the condition of coastal habitats and other surrogates for biodiversity

This report documents the adaptation and evaluation of a regional coastal water quality algorithm for the Van Diemen Gulf region with the main objective to provide an eleven year time series of key water quality parameters from daily observations of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS-Aqua) satellite. However, the application of this data to derive trends and to quantify change for specific regions that can be linked to other biodiversity assessments was out-of-scope of this project. - Project objectives
