Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of aquatic optics as it pertains to the transmission of light through the water column and as it impinges on and reflects from benthic substrates, such as seagrasses. This chapter is meant as a primer for Chapter 13 (Zimmerman: Light and Photosynthesis in Seagrass Meadows) and Chapter 15 (Dekker et al., Remote Sensing of Seagrasses). Application of the theory presented here will be developed further in those chapters. © 2006/2007 Springer. All Rights Reserved.
