Coral reef habitat mapping using remote sensing: A user vs producer perspective. implications for research, management and capacity building

摘要: Remote sensing is a tool that shows its real power and value for large‐scale work. However, published coral reef applications often still focus on spatially limited pilot sites which are investigated research purposes, while synoptic, reliable thematically rich habitat maps in growing demand everywhere around the Planet variety of applications. The observed failure widespread generalization primarily due to differences criteria scientists (producers) managers (users) have obey their respective professional activities. To enhance situation promote mass production maps, especially capacity building context, traditional producer's mapping flow chart challenged compared with user's has been repeatedly applied high resolution images recent management projects. drastic simplification chart. It conforms different principles, search f...
