Benthic habitat mapping using landsat 8 satellite imagery / Muhamad Faizul Azhar

Benthic habitat mapping is a spatial representation of physically distinct areas of seafloor that are associated with particular groups of plants and animals. Usually benthic habitat maps can determine the distribution and abundance of species and can identify critical or sensitive habitats. It also...
