| INFO 9: Uses of Satellites in Oceanography
Satellites have also had a profound effect in oceanography. In regional and local seas, satellites provide remote sensing which gives a unique approach to monitoring the environment for the management of living resources, fishing, navigation and coastal erosion. " _ It will become relatively inexpensive to develop local and regional programs for purposes such as forecasting sea conditions, monitoring pollution or performing bathymetric(Measurement of the depth of large bodies of water) surveys" (Robinson 34). Thus, every maritime nation will have access to valuable information needed for the management of that part of the ocean that compromises its exclusive economic zone. |
