“…The rich set of acoustic data allowed for an accurate interpretation of the benthic geomorphology of the Vlora gulf [8,9], but has also revealed the presence of numerous wrecks of world wars I and II (Figure 2A-E), underlining how much the submerged landscape of the Valona Gulf is linked to the hostilities of the 20 th century. Historically and still today the Gulf of Valona and particularly the bay, has been the site of intensive and varied human activity, as well documented especially by the photo-mosaic obtained from processing of side-scan sonar data and firstly reported in [8].…”

“…Marie Tharp and Dr. Bruce Heezen used early single-beam echosounders to produce the first continuous, three dimensional visualization of the North Atlantic seafloor in 1957 [12]. Twenty year later, their World Ocean Floor map provided compelling evidence for the then-radical theory of continental drift and remains a landmark in the field, highlighting the important role of seafloor mapping in the study of natural processes [3–4].…”

“…Twenty year later, their World Ocean Floor map provided compelling evidence for the then-radical theory of continental drift and remains a landmark in the field, highlighting the important role of seafloor mapping in the study of natural processes [3–4]. In the decades that followed, single-beam echo sounding and many other technologies, including side-scan sonar, multibeam echosounding, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and satellite imagery have expanded our capacity to study, map, and understand seafloor environments [1, 5]. Simultaneously, increased human reliance on ocean resources and a growing commitment to ecosystem-based management have created a need for better seafloor maps, including the spatial distribution of marine substrates, geomorphic features, and benthic biodiversity [67].…”

“…Motivation and Current Challenges 3 in the future [Clark 2017, Ellis 2017 together with the identication and characterization of areas suitable for seaoor mining which also rely on precise bathymetric information [Hein 2009]. However, not until the twentieth century, did technology truly allowed coastal marine scientists to visualize and interpret the topography of benthic environments on a wide scale [Makowski 2016].…”

“…Light attenuation in water is ruled by scattering and absorption. Pure waters (either fresh or salty) are optically pure media totally exempt from any suspended particles; in pure water, light is absorbed only because of interaction of light with molecules and ions [Makowski 2016]. Long visible wavelengths, such as red light, are absorbed rst, short visible wavelengths, like blue, last.…”
