Ever since Smith ®rst examined Landsat data of the
Great Barrier Reef (Smith et al. 1975), the search for
applications of satellite imagery to coral reef science and
management has been almost exhaustive (see reviews by
Jupp 1986; McCracken and Kingwell 1988; Green et al.
1996). Satellite imagery has been used for cartographicbase
mapping (Jupp et al. 1985), detecting change in
coastal areas (Loubersac et al. 1989; Zainal et al. 1993),
environmental-sensitivity mapping (BinÄa 1982), charting
bathymetry (Benny and Dawson 1983), ®sheries management
(Populus and Lantieri 1990) and even stock
assessment of commercial gastropods (Bour 1989). The
most widespread use of satellite imagery has been the
mapping and inventory of coastal resources (e.g. Kuchler
et al. 1986; Bastin 1988; Luczkovich et al. 1993).
Maps of reef habitat are a useful planning tool which,
among other uses, allows management boundaries to be
located (Kenchington and Claasen 1988) and the identi®cation
of representative reef systems (McNeill 1994).
This paper is speci®cally concerned with the use of remote
sensing for mapping coral-reef systems.
