Local applications of remote sensing techniques are described and an assessment is made o£ the status quo in South Africa with respect to satellite reception and image processing facilities, data and data products, as well as non-satellite instrumentation and manpower. Present and future research and applied needs and opportunities are identified and linked to the deployment of ocean-related spacecraft, during the next decade. Finally a blueprint for the future development of oceanographic remote sensing in South Africa is presented.enRemote sensingMarine ecologyOceanographySANSPReportShannon, L., & Shackleton, L.
