QGIS is a free and open-source cross-platform desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that supports viewing, editing, and analysis of geospatial data. We recommend use of this software to manage information about field seagrass records to prepare data sets to training satellite information. QGIS is also handy to prepare spatial information required for atmospheric and water column corrections of satellite data.
Google Earth Pro is a desktop application that manage spatial information. We also recommend use of this software to manage information about field seagrass records. It is especially useful to create spatial information about sea floor substates in polygon data formats, widely used in GIS applications.
