   Can drones help monitor dugong populations?

   • As drone technology takes off, application in marine research is sky high. Remote areas, gorgeous coastline and dugongs go together. So do aerial surveys, tiny planes and countless hours of manually sorting through images. Until now, the best way to monitor dugong populations has been to charter a plane, hire a pilot and fly up and down the coast.

   Can drone imagery help protect dugongs?

   • "The ability to conduct these kinds of surveys throughout their range is going to really improve our understanding of the conservation status of dugongs," she said. Drone imagery could also soon be used to assess the body condition of individual dugongs. A transect marker hangs under a plane wing as part of a dugong survey over Shark Bay.

   How can AI help conserve dugongs?

   • Dugongs' movements can be unpredictable, so scientists are trying hard to find ways to keep track of their populations. (Supplied: Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions) Having an AI automatically detect from aerial imagery could aid conservation efforts in countries with less resources for surveying.

   Can drone technology save the Pilbara's dugong population?

   • Drone technology is making it easier — and tens of thousands dollars cheaper — for researchers to study the health of the Pilbara's dugong population. Murdoch and Edith Cowan Universities have collaborated with researchers, government departments and the CSIRO to study the seagrass habitats of north-west WA, which dugongs use for food foraging.
