Coastal marshes serve as a natural source of coastal protection. To determine the makeup and size of coastal marshes, drones with RGB and NIR capability will be used to both quantify (biomass distribution + vegetation height) and qualify (species) coastal marshes. My goal is to determine the effectiveness of coastal marshes as a source of coastal protection by calculating, and identifying trends linking vegetation makeup and size to effectiveness, the wave attenuation given various marsh sizes.
