Remote sensing applications to biota and wildlife on and near 



Amchitka Island in the Aleutians are presently being studied. We are 



currently photographing areas from a low-flying helicopter near shore 



to determine species of the algae and to determine if man-made effects 



disturb any of this. V./ith marginal weather photography prevalent, 



never above 1,000 feet altitude, we can distinguish different algae 



popul at ions .
