SAV

DNA Barcoding of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in the Chesapeake Bay Region

Kotah Budd and Daniel Castro

Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) refers to the rooted, vascular plants that are important for the health of the Chesapeake Bay and the organisms that reside in this environment. Our goal was to identify SAV in Maryland using DNA barcoding and survey genetic information from different locations. SAV samples were collected… Read more →
Multispectral Analyses on Drone- Captured Images for Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Monitoring

Alexander Thompson

The important ecological role of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) makes its year-to-year distribution of significant interest to environmental monitoring organizations. The use of drones to perform the task of SAV monitoring through multispectral analyses is a promising tool to achieve a methodology that is automatable, repeatable, time efficient, and accessible.… Read more →
