Mediterranean Sea waters is an oligotrophic basin, water quality deterioration and eutrophication are well-known phenomena along its coastal and estuarine regions. The phytoplankton is one of the worst factors that lives on the surface of water and absorbs the sunlight and nutrient by chlorophyll pigments for the process of photosynthesis. This affects many problems in environment such as adding air pollution, reducing water quality, and reducing productivity agriculture. Remote sensing is an art of technology which can monitor Chl-a concentration in inland or coastal waters (case II) through the special function with MODIS (Terra satellite), MERIS (Envisat satellite) because these images have an acceptable spectral and radiometric resolution. On the other hand, case II water includes many components: phytoplankton, Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter or colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and Total Suspended Materials (TSM) as a challenge.
