When i was studying for my surveying degree in newcastle, england my
dissertation was a GIS health study of coral reefs. Though i didn't use
Mapinfo i'm not too sure that i would like too - it being an entirely
vector-analytical GIS. I used Idrisi and some data supplied through an
Idrisi training pack. If i remember correctly, there was three bands of
landsat data (4,5,7 i think) which allowed the production of bathymetric and
vegetation index outputs.
