Satellite data indicates that the spawning activity of herring around Vancouver Island has increased the brightness of coastal waters, making it observable from space.
This change in water clarity and brightness can have implications for marine ecosystems and monitoring practices.
The detection of such biological activity from orbit underscores the potential of satellite technology in environmental and ecological assessments.
