Excerpt: The U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office has defined a strategic requirement for obtaining bathymetry surveys of large areas of the world’s coastline. Unfortunately, present capabilities using survey ships and launches are extremely slow, and access to some coasts is restricted. The requirement may be partially satisfied through the use of airborne or satellite passive optics (Bierwirth et al 1993) or airborne active optics (Lillycrop et al 1996) which view the ocean bottom directly.

Excerpt: Scientific Typical sampling programs require field sampling of water quality conditions, the Problem and costliness and time-consuming nature of which can lead to limitations in the Policy Issues sampling effort because comprehensive sampling of an entire large body of water is not feasible using these methods. The use of remotely sensed data could help water quality programs overcome these constraints by providing an alternative means of water quality monitorin...

Excerpt: The approach of FRA 2000 by FAO was the reliance on the participation of individual countries for both supply and analysis of information. It is hoped that this approach will lead for further capacity building in countries (FRA 2000 ?main report). While countries firmly support this approach, it has sometimes been criticised on the basis that country information may be inaccurate, incomplete, out-of-date, or internationally inconsistent (Stokstad, 2001; Czaplews...
