Seagrass is an essential component of coastal ecosystems because of its capability to absorb blue carbon, and its involvement in sustaining marine biodiversity. In this study, support vector machine (SVM) technologies with corrected satellite imagery data, were applied to identify the distribution of seagrasses. Observations of seagrasses from satellite imagery were obtained using GeoEye-1, Sentinel-2 MSI level 1C, and Landsat-8 OLI satellite imagery. The satellite imagery from Google Earth has been obtained at a very high resolution, and was to be used within both the training and testing of a classification method. The optical satellite imagery must be processed for image classification, throughout which radiometric correction, sunglint, and water column adjustments were applied. We restricted the scope of the study area to a maximum depth of 10 m due to the fact that light does not penetrate beyond this level. When classifying the distribution of seagrasses present in the research region, the recently developed SVM technique achieved overall accuracy values of up to 92% (GeoEye-1), 88% (Sentinel-2 MSI level 1C), and 83% (Landsat-8 OLI), respectively. The results of the overall accuracy values are also used to evaluate classification models.
