Abstract
The limitations of acoustic surveys using echosounders in shallow wate rs are discussed in terms of both vertical and horizontal beaming. The advantages of multibeam sonar applied in a vertical plane throughout the water column for shallow water surveying are outlined and illustra ted with examples taken from a survey of a shallow water tropical lago on in Cuba even under conditions of rough weather.
