                         have been considered as exploitable deposits by local scientists 
                         and industries since 1980, and demand for quantification of the 
                         economic potential of these resources has been increasing. The 
                         same algal mats also support a rich lobster fishery, which is the 
                         most important export item in northern NE Brazil. The same area is 
                         on top of oil-producing sedimentary basins exploited by Petrobras. 
                         It will be suggested that TM-Landsat imagery of the seafloor, 
                         capable of mapping features to the depth of 40 min NE-Brazilian 
                         shelf, can be used to support studies in lobster ecosystem 
                         dynamics. The potential detection of variability of biomass per 
                         unit area of the algal fields is being pursued by the development 
                         of a hidrospheric correction algorithm for the Landsat images. The 
                         experimental use of TM images as a tool for policy development and 
                         enforcement in an extensive oceanic area featuring competition of 
                         conflicting economic interest will be briefly described.",
