Information on presence and abundance of deep water fauna |
Challenge originator: |
|
General Description |
|
What data/products do you use? |
ROV surveys and multibeam to describe deep-water coral and other vulnerable seabed habitat |
When do you use this kind of dataset? |
During environmental impact assessments (EIAs), oil spill response, environmental damage assessment |
What are your actual limitations and do you have a work around? |
ROV and multibeam surveys are expensive and time consuming |
Needs and expectations on EO data |
Not sure, EO capabilities can address this as it requires penetration to ocean floor and species and/or habitat identification |
