Eelgrass Explorer ( E2 ) System — The proposed Eelgrass Explorer System is a cloud-based mapping system that uses high-resolution satellite data to map the distribution of eelgrass habitat in the intertidal ecosystems of British Columbia. Despite their ecological importance and positive correlation to fish diversity and species richness, these habitats are in decline and continue to be threatened by various anthropogenic and climate stressors. Regular and comprehensive mapping of eelgrass is an important step to inform and support management and conservation strategies.
