Satellite Remote Sensing of Coral Reef Habitats Mapping in Shallow Waters at Banco Chinchorro Reefs, México: A Classification Approach

Interest in protecting nature has arisen in contemporary society as awareness has developed of the serious environmental crisis confronting us. One of the ecosystems most impacted is the coral reefs, which while offering a great wealth of habitats, diversity of species and limitless environmental services, have also been terribly damaged by anthropogenic causes. One example of this is the oil spill from petroleum platforms (in the recent case of the Gulf of Mexico). The effects of global warming—such as the increase in the incidence and intensity of hurricanes and drastic changes in ocean temperature—have caused dramatic damage, such as the bleaching and decrease of coral colonies. In light of this devastating situation, scientific studies are needed of coral reef communities and the negative effects they are undergoing.
