Drones are becoming an increasingly valuable tool for coastal practitioners, providing high-resolution data that can support monitoring, research, management, and decision-making. This webinar will showcase how coastal professionals around the country are applying drone-based approaches to capture and analyse changes along our dynamic coastlines.
Presenters will discuss the practical aspects of drone surveys, including data collection, processing workflows, and the generation of coastal monitoring products. We will also explore how drone-derived datasets can be used to track shoreline and landscape change over time, support coastal hazard assessments, and inform coastal management strategies.
The session will highlight both the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating drone technology into coastal monitoring programmes, while sharing lessons learned and best-practice approaches for maximising the value of these datasets.
Whether you are already using drones in your work or are interested in learning more about their potential applications, this webinar will provide valuable insights and an opportunity to connect with fellow coastal monitoring practitioners from across Aotearoa.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this discussion with the coastal monitoring community.
