Eelgrass & Aquatic Vegetation Mapping

Saltwater and freshwater aquatic vegetation mapping with single-beam, multibeam and side scan sonar, ground-truthed with towed underwater video.

Description

CR Environmental maps saltwater and freshwater aquatic vegetation using several remote sensing methods, selected by depth, required resolution and budget.

Key features

  • Single-beam echograms to detect vegetation and estimate stem heights
  • Multibeam processing for high-resolution GIS layers of bed extent
  • High-frequency side scan sonar for georeferenced imagery
  • Ground-truthing with towed underwater video and RTK GPS logged in HYPACK, often on the same day

Applications

Projects range from utility crossing and wind turbine cable route surveys to single-day dock construction surveys.
