GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Drone Mapping for Algal Blooms?
14 March 2018 4:24am
19 December 2020 1:05am
OK that opens up some doors. The mavic mini is a lot less expensive and can fly for 30 minutes at a time. The only question would be the camera on board and if it's got what you need for your work.
17 January 2021 2:39pm
Hi,
Not exactly what you were looking for, but Public Lab have used balloons with cameras to map oil spills. This could be adapted to your purpose. You could stick one of Ryan's cameras on it and livestream it 24/7.
Here is another old technology that doesn't get talked about.
I have also worked on an AUV, with the ultimate intent of coastal algal bloom detection. This doesn't map a bloom, rather it would report anomalous chlorophyl-a readings. This work is stalled due to lack of testing/development facilities. And money.
Thanks,
-harold

Webinar/training series: Remote Sensing for Mangroves in Support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This training focuses on mapping and monitoring mangroves and how it relates to UN sustainable development indicator 6.6.1: Change in the extent of water-related ecosystems over time. Indicator 6.6.1 is used in determining progress toward meeting Sustainable Development Goal 6, which is to “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Three parts, weekly beginning 5th November 2020 (there are two sessions per day to cover different time zones).

Estimating carbon from 3d models of mangroves
13 May 2020 1:14pm
26 June 2020 8:10am
Hello Nandini. I did something similar mapping carbon stocks of subsurface peat reserves in upland habitats in the UK. It was pretty basic though. Modelled the 3D volume of peat from uav, field survey, geostatistical analysis and 3D modelling techniques. They simply calculated the carbon stock through the volume present.

Hi Ryan,
Great question. I think it depends on the water clarity and illumination of the water (solar angle can have a big impact on this). I was able to fly above the water and see down to about 2-3 meters below the water's surface down to the benthic algae in the Klamath River last summer. I was flying a Phantom 4 Pro.
Hope this helps!
