Drone Coral Reef Habitat Mapping & Inspections in UAE

The UAE has some of the most magnificent coastal and marine environments in the Middle East including beautiful coral’s reefs costs and surrounding islands.

Spanning across 1,1920 km2, intricate monitoring and evaluation of the reefs buildings of coral in the UAE are essential for identifying threats affecting their structural integrity. This is where GIS Drones come in!

We offer drones corals reef habitat mapping and inspection services in UAE where we conduct high-resolution aerial surveys of reefs of coral and generate an accurate mapping of these marine habitats to identify and mitigate potential threats to the aquatic ecosystem.

Corals Reef Surveys With High-End Drones

Our surveys are aimed at helping you assess the reef’s condition with high-resolution images, thermal data, and multispectral data gathered using our high-end drones.

We use cutting-edge drone technology that captures and stores georeferenced images of the reef’s corals structure on a cloud-based server. The thermal data helps determine the coral’s health status and potential threats to it. After that, we process the drone data to create an accurate mapping of the coral reef, representing the information visually for all stakeholders.
