How does NOAA Fisheries use satellites? From coral reef management to monitoring illegal fishing activity, learn about the many ways that satellites contribute to effective marine resource management.
Cutting-edge satellite technology provides NOAA Fisheries scientists and managers with the most accurate data so they can make informed decisions about the management of our marine resources.
These reports highlight science activities and events from the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program's Holt Watters Field Camp at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, part of the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica
We illustrate the utility of spatial graphs as a data- and resource-efficient technique for quantifying and communicating complex ecological connectivity information.
This study uses satellite data to track the origins and transport pathways of pelagic Sargassum in the Gulf of Mexico. We found that Sargassum can come from the northwestern Gulf or be transported from the northwestern Caribbean Sea by ocean currents and eddies (circular currents). The spatial distribution of Sargassum in the Gulf is largely shaped by the Loop Current System and associated eddies.
