- Abstract:
This article reports that the European Space Agency (ESA), a group funded by 15 European countries to promote space exploration and research, has commissioned a $300,000 project using satellite imagery to assess the responses of bays in Florida and Wales to water quality improvement projects. London, England based AMEC PLC will perform the analysis on multi-spectral-band images gathered by ESA's Earth observation satellites over the last several years. One target is Cardiff Bay, Wales, which has an aeration system installed by AMEC five years ago to battle algae blooms. The other is Florida Bay, also plagued by algae blooms, whose reduction is one of many targets of restoration efforts now under way in the Everglades.
