The paper presents the results of using UAV, small unmanned aerial vehicles, for the purposes of environmental monitoring of coastal ecosystems of large continental bodies of water. Large water bodies of the Lake Baikal system in the south of Siberia were used as test sites. The survey was carried out using small unmanned aerial vehicles—the Geoscan 101 aircraft type and DJI multi-rotor UAV—during the warm season. From June to September, more than 6,000 high-resolution aerial photographs were obtained, which were used to compile orthophotomaps. As a result of the analysis of the aerial photographs, a classification of objects for environmental monitoring of coastal ecosystems of a specific area was developed, as well as a technical algorithm for the stages of shooting. The results of the study demonstrate the advantages of using small unmanned aerial vehicles as an additional control tool in monitoring the state of environmental objects, which significantly expands the range of factors of potential and real impact on the state of ecosystems, helps to identify the location of impact sources and to obtain quantitative estimates of a wide spatial coverage.
