68723 - Shoreline Drone Surveys

Wildlife Restoration Partnerships conducted drone monitoring of the project from December 2020 to September 2024, allowing for comparisons of the site before, during, and after restoration actions were taken. Ten drone mapping flights were conducted over this period, with three occurring before the breakwater and revetment construction, and seven after construction. Drone imagery and photogrammetric elevation models provided insights into several elements of the restoration, including: • Changes in breakwater elevation after construction • Accumulation and movement of sediment behind the breakwaters • Changes in the peninsula’s shoreline . Changes in the composition of salt marsh vegetation in the interior of the peninsula
