Abstract
The application of two approaches to radiometric correction of Landsat data and their further classification has made it possible to compile maps of the distribution pattern of sea grass at the East Site of the Far East National Marine Reserve (FEMR). The mapping accuracy, evaluated with the use of field data, has shown that the bottom reflectance index makes it possible to increase the accuracy of maps compared to the depth-invariant index. The areas of aquatic plants have been calculated from 2001, 2013, and 2014 data. It has been shown that the approaches for processing remote data are useful for monitoring nearshore vegetation.
