Abstract
The application of satellite imagery to oceanographic problems has grown in recent years. Its use in biological oceanography, however, has been largely limited to studies of primary productivity. The ability of thermal satellite imagery to identify coastal oceanic fronts suggests that there may be an application to macrobenthos investigations. This communication describes how thermal satellite imagery was applied to the study of sand-beach community distribution in the Gulf of Maine.Keywords
