collecting the spectral library of different bottom types is an important step in mapping shallow water bottom types with of remote sensing. Five small siland in Spermonde Archipelago, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, were selected to measure the reflectance spectral of benthic communities. The objectives of this study are to determine optical properties of the live corals, dead coral covered with algae , coral rubble, broken shell, sand, seagrass and to collect a spectral library of bottom types present around small islands in the Spermonde Archipelago. Several benthic communities appear to be highly correlated with one another when the entire spectrum considered, which may lead to classification errors. Porites meyeri, dead corals and coral rubble (3 moths ago) shared a high degree of similarity in reflectance. The other coastal benthic communities are readily distinguishable |
