Reports
Surface observations of coastal waters and "ground. truth" data were obtained to aid interpretation and analyses of overflight photography and imagery. Among the broad objectives of the mission was to investigate the potential of high-altitude, multispectral photography as a tool for the improved planning necessary to cope with multidisciplinary problems within the coastal zone, specifically with regard to:
1. The inventory and evaluation of the central Atlantic coastal area natural resources;
2. The assessment of human and natural degradation of these resources;
3. The feasibility of monitoring resource allocation and management, including land use categories and the impact of urbanization …
