Aquatic Vegetation Monitoring and Mapping

ReMetrix is the commercial pioneer and leading innovator in techniques for identifying and quantifying aquatic vegetation in lakes and other waterbodies.

• ReMetrix was the first company to develop practical methods for employing the BioSonics and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hydroacoustic vegetation quantification tools.
• ReMetrix has successfully completed hydroacoustic vegetation monitoring assessments for over 100,000 surface-acres of water nationally.

Monitoring
Aquatic plant maps are valuable tools that take the subjectivity and guesswork out of aquatic vegetation management.

ReMetrix has developed a unique approach to effectively monitor aquatic vegetation presence, species, coverage, and volume annually. This approach has been applied on many high-value water bodies, such as the California Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the Florida Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Houghton Lake, Michigan, Big Bear Lake, CA and other systems.

Increased program funding often hinges on effective communication of the problem.

There is no more effective way to present irrefutable and understandable results to regulatory agencies and the public.

Lake Tohopekaliga, Florida Coverage Map. This Map was modeled from hydroacoustic data collected along numerous transects throughout the lake.

Mapping
The state-of-the-art acoustic systems used by ReMetrix have been specifically designed to rapidly quantify submersed plant coverage and volume.

ReMetrix has processed more kilometers of acoustic vegetation transect data than any other company in the world. This experience and skill in vegetation data analysis translates into superior efficiency and quality for every ReMetrix customer.

ReMetrix also conducts SCUBA diver surveys for aquatic vegetation characterizations if desired.
