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.

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!

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

I think it looks like a really interesting technology, but it's still in the realm of research and academia. They're correct in that it demonstrates device miniaturization and they look like they're pushing the boundaries of printed circuit board sizes. Also the point of these devices seems to be to demonstrate that it's possible to make electronics capable of unpowered flight.
On the practical side, I'd say the devices are more of a proof of concept. The electronics in a system can usually be made very light, but all your weight and size will come in the batteries and then the enclosure. You can achieve something very similar by using a technology called flex/rigid PCBs which are already commercially available and can be custom ordered online. These are commercially fabricated circuit boards, typically used in mobile phones, that have a rigid part where the ICs would be mounted and a flexible part for interconnect, wiring, or mounting discrete components like resistors and capacitors. You'd be able to make these very light since they use a very thin polyimide (high temperature plastic) substrate and you can fabricate in the same winged form factor as what the researchers used. It'd be interesting to see if they make the mechanical files available to others.
