Monitoring Salmon Freshwater Habitat Using Satellites

ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. (ASL) recently signed a contribution agreement with the Canadian Space Agency for a two-year project under the Satellite Mobilization for Biodiversity Action (SaMBA) opportunity, part of the smartEarth funding initiative.

Habitat loss is the top threat to biodiversity, accounting for endangerment of over 80% of all species. Pacific salmon are a keystone species closely linked to the functional integrity and biodiversity of many aquatic and riparian ecosystems in western North America, directly affecting hundreds of other species. Disturbances to salmon freshwater habitats can occur in remote, unmonitored areas, resulting in delayed assessment and response (see Figure below).

Bío-Bío Canyon Expedition: Researchers Deploy AZFP-nano to Study Links Between Submarine Canyons and the Food Webs of the Humboldt Upwelling System

On September 29, a team of researchers from the Universidad del Bío-Bío set out on an oceanographic expedition to the Bío-Bío Canyon, one of the largest submarine canyons along the Chilean coast. The canyon is located in the Gulf of Arauco, an area that is ecologically rich and vital for local fisheries and industry.

Since 2023, Dr. Macarena Díaz-Astudillo and a group of colleagues have been studying how this canyon shapes local oceanography and zooplankton communities.
