7. Some LBR’s pertinent to remote sensing and surveying : -DEP/Geology: -One-time statewide LiDAR acquisition -DEP/BSM: -Tide station recovery, reconstruction and maintenance -Public Land Survey System Restoration and Perpetuation -Horizontal & Vertical Control Densification Upcoming FDEP Legislative Budget Requests

8. LiDAR - Local, regional and state agencies have invested $40M in the past decade to acquire this data in a patchwork manner at different resolutions. -Florida is not among the 12 states with full coverage. More than 20% of Florida has inadequate digital elevation coverage. -Florida is among 25 states leveraging USGS 3D Elevation Program dollars for partial acquisition, which may yield a savings > 30%. - Statewide coverage would allow flood risk analysis for > 1.5 million residents and improved sinkhole hazard mitigation. -The legislative budget request includes a one-time statewide acquisition. Upcoming FDEP Legislative Budget Requests: Florida bare-earth topography acquisition

9. Upcoming FDEP Legislative Budget Requests: Florida bare-earth topography acquisition Geological mapping in Florida is highly dependent on LiDAR data. For instance, when prospecting for sinkholes or sinkhole prone areas, the LiDAR coverages help us locate and target sinkholes and swallets. This is also helpful in laying out the sampling sites for dye traces between swallets and springs and mapping potential underground flow paths. We would like to use multiple runs of LiDAR, perhaps 10 years apart, to locate new sinkhole features that would have occurred (and not been repaired) during that time in between.

19. FDEP is in the initial stages of working with the Southeast Coral Conservation office to launch a pilot project for using a UAV to inspect newly identified patches of Elkhorn coral, a threatened and endangered species. By collecting and analyzing imagery collected by the UAV quarterly, staff would better understand the growth and stressors on these new coral patches On the Horizon – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
