Marine Resources Experiment Program (MAREX)

The Marine Resources Experiment Program (MAREX): Report of the Ocean Color Science Working Group details the findings and recommendations of a study group convened to explore the potential of using ocean color data for marine resource management. This report, originating from the Goddard Space Flight Center, examines the scientific basis for employing remote sensing techniques to monitor and assess ocean ecosystems. It covers various aspects of ocean color science, including the development of algorithms for data processing and the application of satellite imagery to understand marine productivity and environmental changes.

This historical document provides valuable insights into the early stages of satellite oceanography and its role in understanding and managing marine resources. Researchers and policymakers interested in the history of remote sensing and its application to environmental monitoring will find this report particularly useful.
