This article discusses the issue of plastic waste found in the ocean, and it was published in Science Magazine in February 2015.
The resolution is 1:500,000 but It was quite useful to this day and normally used for EP Assessment.
The Resolution is 1:100,000 and is still useful as legacy data. By now most of these forest have depleted to make way for development or by the effects global warming or sea level rise etc. An overlay of recent data over this data could show some interesting land use changes. Dr Phil Shearman's report is one step in the right direction.
In order to maintain marine and coastal ecosystem services, stakeholders an d decision-makers require spatial information to enable governance for sustainable development and management of natural resources and cultural heritage. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Resource Organisation (CSIRO) has developed a Marine and Coastal Values Framework that can be applied to natural resource, ecological and socio-cultural data to comprehensively value ecosystem features and cultural assets.
The comprehensive valuation of ecosystems and the services they provide can be defined as the process of eliciting, synthesizing, interpreting and communicating knowledge and data about the ways in which people relate to and derive meaning, fulfilment and wellbeing from ecosystems (Gómez-Baggethun and Martín-López, 2015).

AAM was engaged by Geoscience Australia to undertake a LiDAR survey over the towns of Vanimo, Wewak,
Madang and Lae in Papua New Guinea and the coastal sections that join them. Acquisition was undertaken
between May 5th and July 13th 2012. Rain, low cloud and other weather related challenges were faced in this
aerial LiDAR survey.
AAM deployed its Optech ALTM Orion M200 for this project. This sensor is capable of detecting multiple returns, with a minimum of 4 potential returns for each outbound laser pulse as well as recording the intensity of each return.
The BioRAP Toolbox constitutes a complex series of computer programs (ANUDEM, ANUSPLIN, ANUCLIM, PATN and TARGET). This was first assembled in 1994 – 1995 by the Environment Resources Information Network (ERIN), Great Barrier Reef Management Park Authority (GBRMPA), Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies (CRES) of Australian National University and CSIRO (Division of Wildlife & Ecology).
