Description

This dataset includes the spectral reflectance of each morphotype (S. natans I, S. natans VIII, S. fluitans III) collected in situ in Ghana (Sanzule) and Barbados (Consett Bay) in 2022. It also includes reflectance data for freshly deposited (<1 day) and recently deposited (<3 days) mixed species/morphotypes of sargassum in Barbados. For more information on the methods of data collection, see: Fidai et al.
