Automated Filtering of Multibeam Water-Column Data to Detect Relative Abundance of Giant Kelp (<i>Macrocystis pyrifera</i>)

Modern multibeam echosounders can record backscatter data returned from the water above the seafloor. These water-column data can potentially be used to detect and map aquatic vegetation such as kelp, and thus contribute to improving marine habitat mapping. However, the strong sidelobe interference...
