Aerial Photography

TypeExtent of habitat (i.e., area of habitat and whether there has been a decline); condition of habitat and sources affecting habitat (i.e., the condition or functionality of the habitat); and stressors affecting habitat (i.e., which sources have contributed to its degradation and whether they are direct or indirect factors).

Category: Submerged

Cost: $ 10,000

Description: The project would entail the acquisition of aerial photography of the Indian River Lagoon on an annual basis.

Outcome: The photography has been used to support seagrass mapping efforts in mapping years. It has also been used in out-years as a record for comparison or to help determine trends. The photographs will have a variety of other uses to assist in Indian River Lagoon management.
