Abstract: The Australian 'New South Wales Estuary health assessment and biodiversity monitoring program' has set state-wide targets for estuary health. A selection of water bodies is being monitored by in situ chlorophyll a concentration and turbidity measurements, indicators for water quality. We investigate whether the current monitoring program can benefit from the use of remote sensing derived data, analyzing chlorophyll a and water clarity estimates by the C2RCC and ACOLITE products based on Sentinel-2 MSI imagery for three lakes along the New South Wales coast. The C2RCC and ACOLITE products were partly successful in predicting chlorophyll a concentration and water clarity. Estimates based on Sentinel-2 MSI imagery were in the range of in situ measurements. However, results varied across years and lakes, and a significant correlation could not be found in every case. It is likely that the physical differences between the systems, such as nutrient input, tannins, and suspended algae/sediment matrix, influence the output of the algorithm. This may preclude the application of a 'one size fits all' monitoring approach, given the importance of local ecological phenomena in both influencing remote sensing observations and the nature of appropriate targets. However, the design of a monitoring program that incorporates remote sensing provides a way forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
