Cover Story: Coastal systems integrate land and sea communities, moving energy and matter across this boundary. A hierarchical classification was applied to coastal systems of a tropical island in The Bahamas to capture the breadth of diversity and ecological function. The research team Sealy and Patus combined long-term field experience with remote sensing and GIS tools to produce a comprehensive view of nearshore and shoreline biotopes. Ecological community mapping can help with better marine resource management in oil spill response, coastal reserve design and carbon sequestration. The dynamic nature of coastal systems can be captured with updated mapping and change detection. View this paper
