 Report describes use of color photos to map aquatic vegetation in the shallow water of 

 Finger Lakes, New York. Techniques used apply to studies of nearshore ecology in 

 marshlands, estuaries, and other coastal areas. Factors in selecting the best film-filter 

 combination, photo scale, overlap, exposure settings, and other variables are discussed. 

 Color photos were found to be better than color infrared or black and white photos. 

 Techniques and results in mapping the vegetation of Cayuga Lake are described. Vegetation 

 was mapped to depths of from 12 to 18 feet. Use of periodic color photos to examine the 

 spread and retreat of vegetation is mentioned. The use of remote sensing in monitoring a 

 project that employed chemicals to control floating vegetation in a part of Chesapeake Bay 

 is described.

Paper discusses the applications of remote sensors to oceanographic studies. Characteristics 

 and capabihties of remote sensing are also discussed. Advantages of remote sensing in 

 providing a broad synoptic coverage of large-scale oceanic phenomena are noted. 

 Applications of interest to coastal engineers include reconnaissance by radar, evaluation of 

 sea state conditions, and determination of water depths by image enhancement. Oceano- 

 graphic features and processes are illustrated by remote sensor devices. The film density 

 analysis method of image enhancement for determining water depths from Gemini satellite 

 photos is given.

Report is a study of coastal landforms and manmade development as shown on conventional 

 panchromatic, black and white infrared, and color infrared photos and infrared imagery. 

 Study area was located near Boca Raton, Florida, and extended from the beach to beyond 

 the Intracoastal Waterway; area included both developed and undeveloped land. An example 

 of each type of photo is presented and features identifiable on the photos are discussed. A 

 description of the coastal vegetation and ground photos of vegetation species and types of
