Harmful algae blooms (HABs) pose critical threats to aquatic ecosystems and human economies, driven by their rapid proliferation, oxygen depletion capacity, toxin release, biodiversity impacts. These blooms, increasingly exacerbated climate change, compromise water quality in both marine freshwater ecosystems, significantly affecting life coastal economies based on fishing tourism while also posing serious risks inland bodies. This article examines the role of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) monitoring HABs. HSI, with its superior spectral resolution, enables precise classification mapping diverse species, emerging as a pivotal tool environmental surveillance. An array HSI techniques, algorithms, deployment platforms are evaluated, analyzing efficacy across varied geographical contexts. Notably, sensor-based studies achieved up 90% accuracy, regression-based chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) estimations frequently reaching coefficients determination (R2) above 0.80. quantitative findings underscore potential for robust HAB diagnostics early warning systems. Furthermore, we explore current limitations future management, highlighting strategic importance addressing growing economic challenges posed paper seeks provide comprehensive insight into HSI’s capabilities, fostering integration global strategies against proliferation.
