Available systems, such as space satellites, mannedships, and manned/unmanned aircraft areexpensive and/or offer unsatisfactory performance. Most satellites can make surface-water or very shallow-water measurements only and are incapable of marine biological monitoring or sampling.Manned ships are expensive to operate, limited to short terms and only make small area observations.Manned/Unmanned aircraft
