Monitoring - LCEP Ecosystem Monitoring Program (EMP) habitat status & trends

The meeting will focus on the expanding use of drones for capturing site condition data in the lower Columbia. We’ll present an overview of the new drone and its sensors, showcasing its capabilities with LiDAR, thermal, and multi-spectral cameras for assessing site topography, water temperature, and vegetation communities. We’ll discuss opportunities to leverage this with existing partner resources and technology for assessing restoration and conservation sites.
