Summary
The University of Texas at Austin (UT) will use satellite imagery and image classification algorithms to map the current extent and distribution of seagrasses along the Texas coast. UT will then compare the results with maps from 2004/2007 to assess changes in seagrass coverage and identify areas in need of potential conservation or restoration efforts.
