Abstract

In recent years, Ulva prolifera green tide, as a large-scale marine ecological phenomenon, has occurred frequently in coastal areas such as the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, significantly affecting marine ecosystems and fishery resources. With the continuous advancement of remote sensing technologies, these technologies have become indispensable tools for monitoring Ulva prolifera green tides. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advances in remote sensing band indices for detecting green tides, including spatiotemporal distribution analysis, area and biomass estimation, drift trajectory modeling, and investigations of their driving mechanisms. Additionally, it identifies the limitations and unresolved challenges in current approaches, such as constraints on data resolution, algorithmic biases, and environmental variability. The potential for integrating multi-source remote sensing data with marine environmental parameters and deep learning techniques is discussed, emphasizing their roles in improving the accuracy and reliability of monitoring and predicting Ulva prolifera green tides. This review aims to guide future research efforts and technological innovations in this field.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Marine Science publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of all aspects of the environment, biology, ecosystem functioning and human interactions with the oceans. Field Chief Editor Carlos M. Duarte at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide. With the human population predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, it is clear that traditional land resources will not suffice to meet the demand for food or energy, required to support high-quality livelihoods. As a result, the oceans are emerging as a source of untapped assets, with new innovative industries, such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, marine energy and deep-sea mining growing rapidly under a new era characterized by rapid growth of a blue, ocean-based economy. The sustainability of the blue economy is closely dependent on our knowledge about how to mitigate the impacts of the multiple pressures on the ocean ecosystem associated with the increased scale and diversification of industry operations in the ocean and global human pressures on the environment. Therefore, Frontiers in Marine Science particularly welcomes the communication of research outcomes addressing ocean-based solutions for the emerging challenges, including improved forecasting and observational capacities, understanding biodiversity and ecosystem problems, locally and globally, effective management strategies to maintain ocean health, and an improved capacity to sustainably derive resources from the oceans.
