ecosystems on land. This study will look at the feasibility of applying LiDAR technology in water to enable the

efficient monitoring and mapping of marine ecosystems and aquaculture so that their impact and the impact of

other maritime applications upon them can be assessed, measured and monitored.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
