“…Aerial photogrammetry has gained increasing popularity in the studies of aquatic megafauna to estimate their size, volume, and mass, which are vital parameters to assess health and nutritional status for conservation management (e.g., blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus , by Durban et al, 2016; manta ray, Mobula alfredi , by Setyawan et al, 2022; whale sharks, Rhincodon typus , by Whitehead et al, 2022; sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea , by Schofield et al, 2019). Many cetaceans occur in large pods, with individuals changing positions in the frame throughout a single drone flight (Cheney et al, 2022; Durban et al, 2015; Fearnbach et al, 2018; Fiori et al, 2017; Laborie et al, 2021).…”

“…In addition, the study species would have to have to remain stationary during surveys, in high densities, and in a predictable location for some period of time, which is unlikely in dynamic aquatic environments. However, it is possible to use UAVs to estimate the 2D body size of fully-aquatic species such as cetaceans (Gray et al, 2019), whale sharks (Whitehead et al, 2022) and corals (Levy et al, 2018). It is also possible to estimate body volume in cetaceans by creating a 3D model of the study species and scaling the model to different individuals using 2D body size estimates (Hirtle et al, 2022).…”

“…The governance of these areas in general and fall within the responsibility of CO-NANP, although it is also carried out with the support of other governments and civil society institutions [33]. In addition, different academic institutions are also involved in the evaluation of the protected species populations [35][36][37][38]. .…”
