Aerial Monitoring
Cambridge Coastcare recognises the importance of understanding the dynamics of the natural coastal dune system to achieve success in their dune management activities. To further their understanding, Cambridge Coastcare undertook two aerial survey projects to:
- Explore available technology to survey the coastal dunes
- Monitor and measure coastal changes using a science evidence-based approach
- Improve/standardise documentation so the information could be made widely available to share the results and highlight issues for action
- Assess volunteer restoration efforts and target future actions to achieve results.
