What it can and can't tell you
Every deliverable shows the date and time of the flight or survey. Drone products record what was visible or measured on that day, under that day's light, water clarity, and weather. Mapped extents, classifications, and depths are interpretations of the imagery or sonar and carry the resolution stated in your deliverable. Plant identifications made from the air, including invasive classifications, should be confirmed in the field before any treatment decision. Surveys are not a property, boundary, or engineering survey. Results can help you make decisions about safe swimming and water use, but no result is definitive for every place and time. It is always good practice to check posted signs and your state or local health authorities.
