Abstract: Coastal marsh restoration presents geomorphic monitoring challenges because these sites are often remote or inaccessible, and time and financial resources for field data may be limited. Yet, elevation and shoreline characteristics contribute to the overall health and longevity of coastal marshes. The expansion of Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) technology and new satellite platforms offer opportunities to complement ground-based geomorphic monitoring and overcome the challenges of traditional field methods. Here, we compare field-based and remote-sensing approaches to monitor two restored coastal wetlands in Louisiana. At Spanish Pass, methods for measuring site elevation, shoreline position, and shoreline geomorphic types were compared. Ground surveys strongly correlated with UAS-lidar digital elevation model (DEM) elevations (R2 = 0.97. UAS and satellite imagery were accurate to within 3 meters of field-shoreline positions, and UAS-lidar-derived shorelines had the lowest error. At LaBranche, UAS-lidar DEM data were paired with airborne lidar and legacy ground surveys to track temporal changes in elevation, indicating minimal elevation change. The study demonstrates the accuracy and utility of satellite and UAS remote sensing for monitoring shoreline positions and elevations but notes that shoreline classifications could be improved with additional quantification. These findings help practitioners assess the trade-offs and benefits of various monitoring methods.
