底栖演替模型可以解释沉积物剖面图像中观察到的结构。从这些结构中，可以推断出底栖栖息地及其相关动物群的时间和空间变化。用于原位远程监测的仪器是RhoadsCande剖面摄影相机或其更新版本，视频REMOTS（海底远程生态监测）系统。沉积物剖面成像已用于表征罗德岛州纳拉甘西特湾的河口污染梯度，并监测美国康涅狄格州纽黑文港底栖动物动态的“八月效应”。在顶针群岛附近 1.5 平方英里的区域中描述了剖面相机快速绘制海底扰动模式和随后动物群变化的能力。康涅狄格州长岛海峡。我们讨论了 REMOTS 系统在有效监测挖泥弃土活动方面的潜在应用，以及作为探测外大陆架钻探区域底栖栖息地变化的勘察绘图工具的潜在应用。
A benthic successional model allows interpretation of structures observed in sediment profile images. From these structures, temporal and spatial changes can be deduced in both benthic habitat and its associated fauna. The instrument used for in situ remote monitoring is the RhoadsCande profile photographic camera or its updated version, the video REMOTS (Remote Ecological Monitoring Of The Seafloor) system. Sediment profile imaging has been used to characterize an estuarine pollution gradient in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island and to monitor the 'August Effect' on benthic faunal dynamics in New Haven Harbor, Connecticut (USA). The ability of the profile camera to map rapidly patterns of seafloor disturbance and subsequent faunal change is described for a 1.5 mi2 area near the Thimble Islands. Long Island Sound, Connecticut. We discuss the potential application of the REMOTS system for efficient monitoring of dredge-spoil activities and as a reconnaissance mapping tool for detecting change in benthic habitats in the region of outer continental shelf drilling fields.
