Comment:

This clearly written proposal would assess the utility of innovative aerial and satellite imagery in characterizing aquatic habitat. It represents a novel application of a new technology that may be very useful in EDT assessments and may represent an important advance in data acquisition in the estuary and ocean. The guidance manual for agency staff and other practitioners sounds useful. The proposal has excellent information transfer built in as well as thorough evaluation of the utility of its products. The cost is relatively low. During discussion of the proposal the ISRP noted that the sponsors could have better discussed possible limitations of the technology and potential benefits to the Clearwater restoration efforts.

Comment:

Unsure how applicable the data generated from this technique would be for planning. Text did not address limitations due to deep water or turbidity. This proposed work appears to be similar to ongoing satellite imagery work.
