Mit eoapp DIVE können Tauchende diese Werte – basierend auf Satellitendaten &#8211; für ausgewählte Tauchspots schon vor dem Sprung ins Wasser abrufen. EOMAP hat diese Web-Applikation im Rahmen des ESA-Projekts „Bluerism&#8221; entwickelt. Darin untersuchen wir die Nutzbarkeit <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">satellitengestützter Daten zur Wasserqualität</a> für den Tauchsport.</p>
<h2>Warum Wasserqualität für Taucher zählt</h2>
<p>Klares Wasser mit guter Sicht macht nicht nur die Unterwasserwelt erlebbar, sondern erhöht auch die Sicherheit während des Tauchgangs. Die Sichttiefe wird dabei von mehreren Faktoren beeinflusst: Sedimentation, Wasserverschmutzung sowie Algen und Wasserpflanzen. Besonders im Fokus stehen dabei <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potenziell schädliche Algenblüten</a>, sogenannte Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs), die immer wieder für Schlagzeilen und Badeverbote sorgen.</p>
<h2>Wie Satellitendaten helfen</h2>
<p>Seit 2006 werten wir bei EOMAP Satellitenbilder aus, um Umweltdaten zu Binnen- und Küstengewässern zu gewinnen. Anders als punktuelle Vor-Ort-Messungen liefern Satellitendaten flächendeckende Informationen über längere Zeiträume – bei guter Datenlage nahezu in Echtzeit. Mit zunehmender Auflösung und Verfügbarkeit von Satellitenaufnahmen wächst auch die Genauigkeit dieser Daten stetig.</p>
<p>Gerade weil sich Gewässer-Ökosysteme durch die globale Erwärmung zunehmend verändern und Algenblüten häufiger auftreten, gewinnen solche Informationen an Bedeutung – auch für den Tourismus.</p>
<h2>Wie die App Tauchgänge optimieren hilft</h2>
<p>In eoapp DIVE fließen Werte zu Algenkonzentration, Trübung, Sichttiefe und Oberflächentemperatur ein, ergänzt durch Informationen zu potenziell toxischen Algen sowie meteorologische Daten zu Tiden, Wellen und Wetter. Damit lassen sich Tauchspots direkt vergleichen: Wo ist die Sicht am besten? Wo ist die Algenbelastung am geringsten? Wo sind die Wellen niedriger?</p>
<p>So können Tauchsportler:innen den passenden Tauchtag gezielt auswählen und ihr Taucherlebnis optimieren.</p>
<h2>Testphase bis Ende November</h2>
<p>Aktuell läuft die kostenlose Testphase für die Flensburger Förde, den Kleinen Belt und den Banter See. Weitere Tauchgebiete können auf Wunsch aufgenommen werden – eine <a href="mailto:wq@eomap.de">kurze E-Mail </a>an das Bluerism-Team von EOMAP genügt.</p>
<p>Wer die eoapp DIVE nutzt, erleichtert nicht nur die eigene Tauchplanung, sondern unterstützt über die integrierte Feedback-Funktion auch die Weiterentwicklung des Tools – und liefert wertvolle Praxisdaten für das Monitoring von Algenblüten und Wasserqualität. Diese Daten werden im <a href="https://bluerism.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Projekt Bluerism</a> ausgewertet.</p>
<p>Bis Ende November können Taucherinnen und Taucher sich kostenlos registrieren unter: <a href="https://dive.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dive.eoapp.de</a></p>

<p>These world-first digital maps of thousands of coral reefs were a key step towards identifying, managing and essentially preserving this global marine icon.</p>
<h3>Bathymetry maps covering 350.000 km²</h3>
<p>Back in 2013, we were part of a true breakthrough. In collaboration with leading German and Australian scientists, we delivered high-resolution, <a href="https://eomap.com/services/bathymetry/">satellite-derived bathymetry</a> maps covering the entire Great Barrier Reef.</p>
<p>For the first time, this ecosystem covering ~350,000 km² and thousands of individual reefs, was mapped consistently from space.</p>
<h3>The challenge: Mapping shallow and remote waters</h3>
<p>In general, traditional approaches using vessels or airborne surveys were (and still are) limited by cost, logistics, and accessibility. Especially in shallow or remote reef areas, these methods can be challenging.</p>
<p>For decades, nearly half of the Great Barrier Reef’s shallow-water reef areas had remained unmapped due to remoteness and navigational challenges.</p>
<h3>Large-scale reef mapping from space</h3>
<p>However, EOMAP helped change this. Without any vessel or aircraft support, this world-first dataset with 30-m-resolution provided a complete 3D picture of the planet’s largest coral reef ecosystem. It enabled more effective environmental management. This included water quality modelling to predicting climate change impacts, such as sea level rise and cyclone activity.</p>
<p>Beyond science, the project bridged a crucial gap: It offered both detailed local insights and a comprehensive system-wide view to governments, researchers, and industry alike. Back then, partner Stuart Phinn from the <a href="https://www.uq.edu.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Queensland</a> stated: &#8220;<em>This information is regarded as essential for any government or company involved with managing the reef environment</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apart from the University of Queensland, EOMAP partnered with <a href="https://www.jcu.edu.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Cook University</a> and the <a href="https://frontiersi.com.au/crcsi-a-legacy-of-achievement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information</a> in this project.</p>
<p>Until today, we continue providing non-invasive, cost-effective technology to protect irreplaceable <a href="https://eomap.com/markets/environment-and-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecosystems</a>.</p>

The world’s largest hyperspectral marine habitat survey at the time transformed how reef systems are understood.</p>
<h2>The Challenge of Mapping Large Reefs</h2>
<p>Ningaloo is one of the world&#8217;s largest fringing reefs. It stretches across three degrees of latitude in a remote part of Western Australia. Traditional boat-based surveys were logistically impossible for such a vast area. Older maps relied on manual visual interpretation of aerial photos, which lacked detail and consistency.</p>
<p>Therefore the goal was to develop the first standardized, semi-automated classification system for the entire 300 km reef system, providing a high-resolution baseline for long-term conservation.</p>
<p>Halina Kobryn, a senior environmental scientist from <a tabindex="0" href="https://www.murdoch.edu.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-test-app-aware-link="">Murdoch University</a>, collaborated closely with us in this study.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>&#8220;This project, at the time the world&#8217;s largest</em><em> hyp</em><em>erspectral</em><em> survey of marine habitats, provided a unique opportunity to map at very high spectral and spatial resolution, both the marine and coastal strip. This high-resolution baseline supports marine planning, monitoring, and management of Australia&#8217;s longest nearshore fringing reef&#8221;</em>, says Halina.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Using the HyMap airborne sensor (capturing 125 spectral bands at 3.5m resolution), the team applied EOMAP&#8217;s physics-based Modular Inversion and Processing System (MIP) in 2006.</p>

<h2>Key Results and Impact</h2>
<ul>
<li>Together, we successfully mapped 762 km² of the Ningaloo Reef environment to a depth of 20 meters, utilizing a semi-automated approach that delivered overall accuracies ranging from 70% to 84%.</li>
<li>The results also revealed that macro-algae dominated 51% of the area, while hard and soft corals cover about 8% (58.6 km²).</li>
<li>Including the coastal strip (up to 2km) was important as runoff from the coast can have detrimental effects on the corals.</li>
</ul>
<p>Until today, we continue providing non-invasive, cost-effective technology to protect irreplaceable ecosystems.</p>

<p>Dank Fernerkundung und künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) lassen sich Seegrasbestände heute deutlich genauer erfassen. Dennoch bleibt ihre Verbreitung, insbesondere in der Ostsee, von vielen Umweltfaktoren wie Sediment, Wassertiefe, Strömungen, Nährstoffeinträgen und Wassertrübung abhängig. Hinzu kommt der Klimawandel, der ihre Stabilität weiter gefährdet.</p>
<p>All das macht Wiederansiedlung und Schutz von Seegraswiesen zu einer großen Herausforderung.</p>

<p>Vor diesem Hintergrund wollen wir in dem Projekt <b>SEAGUARD (SEAgrass Growth and Adaption Using Ai Research &amp; Development)</b> mithilfe von KI, Umwelt- und Fernerkundungsdaten sowie Modellsimulationen die Verbreitung und Entwicklung von Seegras in der deutschen Ostsee kartieren. Gemeinsam mit dem <b>IOW Warnemünde</b> und der <b>CAU Kiel</b> soll das CO2-Speicherpotential von Seegraswiesen bewertet werden und zudem Standorte identifiziert werden, an denen die Wiederansiedlung von Seegras auch unter zukünftigen Klimabedingungen die größten Erfolgschancen hat.</p>
<p>Konkret bedeutet dies, dass SEAGUARD eine langfristige Planbarkeit für die Wiederansiedlung von Seegraswiesen ermöglicht und Gebiete ausweist, die ein hohes Besiedlungs- und Wiederansiedlungspotenzial aufweisen. Zugleich zeigen wir Regionen auf, die aufgrund ihrer Umweltbedingungen besonders resilient gegenüber Klimaveränderungen und Klimaschwankungen sind.</p>
<p>Somit trägt SEAGUARD zur Minderung des Klimawandels bei, indem es die Reduktion von Treibhausgasen unterstützt. Die Projektinhalte lassen sich dabei unter anderem den globalen Nachhaltigkeitszielen SDG 13 (Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz) und SDG 14 (Leben unter Wasser) zuordnen.</p>

<p><em>Seefeld, Deutschland, Dezember 2024</em> – Mehr Extremwetterereignisse sowie steigende Meeresspiegel und Temperaturen drängen uns zum Handeln. Dies betrifft vor allem küstennahe Gebiete. Hier setzt COASTS mit satellitengestützten Informationen an: Das europäische Innovationsprojekt unter der Leitung der deutschen Firma EOMAP arbeitet an einer Geo-IT-Lösung, um Küstengebiete nachhaltig zu stärken. Diese soll auch der stark schwindenden Artenvielfalt an Küsten entgegenwirken. Mit im Boot ist ein weiterer Partner aus Deutschland: die wissenschaftliche Tauchergruppe von Submaris.</p>
<p>COASTS wird zum einen bislang fehlende Informationen zu Küstendynamik, Sediment-verlagerungen oder Erosion und deren Einfluss auf die Küstenökosysteme liefern. Darüber hinaus wird das Projekt Ausmaß, Zustand und künftige Veränderungen <a href="https://eomap.com/markets/environment-and-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">küstennaher Ökosysteme wie Mangroven, Seegras- oder Salzwiesen</a> aufzeigen. Diese sogenannten “Blue Carbon” Ökosysteme dienen schließlich als wichtige CO2-Speicher im Zusammenhang mit dem Klimawandel. Hierfür wird das Team Erdbeobachtung, fortgeschrittene Modellierung, in-situ Daten und digitale Werkzeuge integrieren. Ziel ist, gemeinsam mit lokalen Akteuren eine <a href="https://eomap.com/eoapps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IT-Lösung für datenbasierte Entscheidungen</a> an Küsten zu entwickeln.</p>

<p>„<em>COASTS kombiniert Satelliten- und Geodaten-Analyse mit bodennaher Forschung. Wir werden uns zunächst auf drei Pilotstandorte in Europa und auf den Malediven konzentrieren. Die Erkenntnisse aus diesen Beispielen dienen als Blaupause für andere Regionen</em>“, erklärt Mona Reithmeier, COASTS-Projektmanagerin bei EOMAP.</p>
<p>In COASTS arbeiten EOMAP, <a href="https://www.fugro.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fugro</a>, <a href="https://submaris.com/de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Submaris</a> und die <a href="https://msro.mv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maldives Space Research Organisation (MRSO)</a> zusammen.

<p>„<i>Die biologische Vielfalt an Küsten ist per se wichtig. Doch diese Lebensräume dienen auch als ‚blaue‘ Kohlenstoffspeicher. Wir stellen In-situ-Daten über Seegraswiesen in Deutschland und auf den Malediven und deren Zustand bereit. Damit können wir die Modellierung von COASTS bereichern und Renaturierungsprojekte weltweit vorantreiben</i>“, sagt Philipp Schubert von Submaris. Sein Team wird unter anderem die von Erosion bedrohte Ostseeküste (Kieler Bucht) betauchen und kartieren.</p>

</div>
<p>Auch die Malediven sind Pilotgebiet von COASTS und brauchen dringend Lösungen: <i>„Gebiete wie die Malediven, die durch den Klimawandel stark bedroht sind, brauchen praxisnahe Daten und gezielte Risikoinformationen. Und wir brauchen sie schnell. Wir erwarten, dass COASTS Entscheidungen zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung von Küstengebieten erleichtert, die Frühwarnung vor Klimawandelfolgen stärkt und mehr Verständnis für naturbasierte Lösungen und blaue Kohlenstoff-Ökosysteme schafft</i>“, meint Nashwan Matheen von MSRO.</p>
<p>Neben datengestützten Entscheidungen für Küsten-Ökosysteme sollen die Analysen von COASTS auch neue Geschäftsmodelle in aufstrebenden CO2-Märkten fördern. Dies kann neue Einnahmequellen für Länder mit Blue-Carbon-Ökosystemen schaffen.</p>

<p>„<i>Das COASTS-Projekt nutzt unsere Expertise im Bereich Geodaten. Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass dieses umfassende Wissen nicht nur politische Entscheidungen unterstützen, sondern auch neue Märkte erschließen und die Küsten in einigen der am stärksten gefährdeten Regionen der Welt widerstandsfähiger machen wird“</i>, sagt Pooja Mahapatra von Fugro.</p>
<p>Angesichts des zunehmenden Drucks auf Küstengebiete möchte das COASTS-Team Entscheidungsträger dabei unterstützen, sowohl die biologische Vielfalt als auch die Lebensgrundlagen der lokalen Bevölkerung besser zu schützen und zu fördern.</p>
<p>Das dreijährige <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/coasts-coastal-resilience-and-blue-carbon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">COASTS-Projekt</a> wird von <a href="https://www.euspa.europa.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EUSPA Space</a>, Horizon Europe 2023, finanziert.</p>

<p>“<i>Coastal biodiversity is heavily affected by global change. These habitats play a central role, as they also serve as blue carbon storage. By providing in situ data on seagrass habitats in Germany, Jersey and on the Maldives and their health, we aim to enrich the modelling capacities of COASTS and drive restoration efforts worldwide”</i>, said Philipp Schubert of the scientific diving group Submaris.</p>
<p>In addition to supporting data-driven sustainable decisions on coastal ecosystems, the in-depth analyses of COASTS are set to encourage new business models on emerging blue carbon markets. This can open new income sources for countries with blue carbon ecosystems.</p>

<p>The Canadian Hydrographic Conference (CHC) took place from 27 &#8211; 30 May 2024 in St. John&#8217;s, Newfoundland. During the &#8220;Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Session 2&#8221; there Edward Albada of EOMAP presented a fascinating bathymetry project in Quebec:</p>
<p>In 2023, EOMAP cooperated in community-led bathymetric surveys and helped generate <a href="https://www.eomap.com/services/bathymetry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB)</a> for Canadian coastal waters. The community team used eoapp SDB-Online for improving and de-risking their survey planning along the shallow waters of their coast. It helped the Canadian team to create a community map within only 18 days.</p>
<p>The project by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) is part of Canada&#8217;s Oceans Protection Plan, and empowers coastal communities to gather and utilize bathymetric data. Most of the communities involved lacked detailed bathymetric data on the waters at their doorstep. Now, the community of Inukjuak has a helpful community map at hand, bringing more safety to their daily navigation.</p>
<p><a href="https://sdb-online.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SDB-Online</a>, a new web app by EOMAP enables non-expert users to create bathymetric charts within mouse clicks.</p>

<h3>Satellite-based lake monitoring</h3>
<p><span class="break-words "><span dir="ltr">The federal state of Baden-Württemberg in the South West of Germany is rich in sweetwater. It counts 28 lakes larger than 50 ha, 260 lakes with more than 10 ha and 1300 smaller lakes (&gt; 1 ha).</span></span></p>
<p><span class="break-words "><span dir="ltr">For monitoring these inland waters &#8211; many of which are bathing waters, we have been cooperating with the environmental authority LUBW &#8211; Landesanstalt für Umwelt Baden-Württemberg since 2021. Its project SAMOSEE-BW has now made it to the top of the eGovernment competition &#8211; a contest of all German speaking countries: The satellite-based lake monitoring case was selected winner of the category &#8220;Sustainability by Digitalisation&#8221;.<br />

<p><span class="break-words "><span dir="ltr">For their lake monitoring, the environmental agency is successfully complementing in situ data with satellite-based information from Landsat and Sentinel-2 sensors. </span></span>In brief, the German federal agency LUBW &#8230;</p>
<p>📍 is integrating satellite-based remote sensing into routine monitoring<br />
📍 of Lake Constance, 50 natural small lakes and 20 quarry ponds<br />
📍 to keep an eye on key parameters, such as Chlorophyll a, turbidity, harmful algae blooms (HAB), Secchi Disk Depth (SDD), temperature,<br />
📍 thus helping fulfil the regional and EU monitoring requirements for water protection<br />
📍 and visualizing these data for easy public access.</p>
<p>💡 Authorities can benefit from satellite-based information by significant information gain and decision support, in particular for smaller water bodies, where there is no or little data available.</p>
