🌊 Coastal & Wetland Analysis

Measure how the shoreline is changing

Coastlines and wetlands shift season to season — but without consistent measurement, erosion and vegetation loss are hard to prove and harder to plan around. AeroTech UAV captures the elevation, vegetation, and shoreline data that quantify change over time and support restoration and permitting decisions.

What we capture & detect

High-resolution RGB and multispectral imagery map vegetation health, while photogrammetry produces a digital surface model (DSM) that captures elevation and terrain. Flown on a repeating schedule, these layers reveal how shorelines, sediment, and vegetation are moving — change that's invisible in any single visit.

Shoreline erosion

Track the advance and retreat of the water boundary and quantify land loss between flights.

🌱

Vegetation health

Assess mangrove, seagrass, and aquatic vegetation vigor with multispectral indices.

Elevation & volume

Digital surface models support volumetric estimates for sediment, fill, and restoration work.

What you get back

Georeferenced deliverables that quantify change and support planning, permitting, and restoration.

Why it matters

Coastal change has real consequences — for property, habitat, and compliance. Repeatable aerial measurement gives you defensible numbers on erosion rates and vegetation trends, reaches wetland terrain that's unsafe or impossible to survey on foot, and builds the time-series record that supports restoration planning and regulatory review. For Florida's dynamic coastlines, that consistent baseline is the foundation every decision rests on.
