These maps have become essential components in marine science and management, with their utility being dependent upon accuracy, scale, and repeatability. One of the primary factors that affects the utility of a coral reef benthic composition map is the choice of the machine-learning algorithm used to classify the coral reef benthic classes. Current machine-learning algorithms used to map coral reef benthic composition and detect changes over time achieve moderate to high overall accuracies yet have not demonstrated spatio-temporal generalisation. The inability to generalise limits their scalability to only those reefs where in situ reference data samples are present. This limitation is becoming more pronounced given the rapid increase in the availability of high temporal (daily) and high spatial resolution (&lt;5 m) multispectral satellite imagery. Therefore, there is presently a need to identify algorithms capable of spatio-temporal generalisation in order to increase the scalability of coral reef benthic composition mapping and change detection. This review focuses on the most commonly used machine-learning algorithms applied to map coral reef benthic composition and detect benthic changes over time using multispectral satellite imagery. The review then introduces convolutional neural networks that have recently demonstrated an ability to spatially and temporally generalise in relation to coral reef benthic mapping; and recurrent neural networks that have demonstrated spatio-temporal generalisation in the field of land cover change detection. A clear conclusion of this review is that existing convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network frameworks hold the most potential in relation to increasing the spatio-temporal scalability of coral reef benthic composition mapping and change detection due to their ability to spatially and temporally generalise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14112666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,3]],"date-time":"2022-06-03T08:01:18Z","timestamp":1654243278000},"page":"2666","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Machine-Learning for Mapping and Monitoring Shallow Coral Reef Habitats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2043-5779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher","family":"Burns","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Drone Lab, School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, WZ Building, Level 11, 6 St Paul Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2103-8561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barbara","family":"Bollard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Drone Lab, School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, WZ Building, Level 11, 6 St Paul Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3075-7672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ajit","family":"Narayanan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, WZ Building, Level 11, 6 St Paul Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hedley, J.D., Roelfsema, C.M., Chollett, I., Harborne, A.R., Heron, S.F., Weeks, S., Skirving, W.J., Strong, A.E., Eakin, C.M., and Christensen, T.R.L.
