An Experimental Approach for Detection of Floating and Submersed Macrophytes Using Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

Study goals: Spatial and Temporal information on the speciescomposition and abundance of aquatic vegetation is anexcellent indicator of aquatic environmental quality.•To improve the capability of Monitoring and Detection ofAquatic Vegetation Health and abundance in shallow inlandand coastal waters using remote sensing•To enhance the ability to assess underwater habitatdegradation/habitat restoration of water bodies and wetlands
