Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and UAV-based remote sensors are becoming more technologically advanced and widely used in the ecological environment monitoring. The analyses of UAV remote sensing data can help to improve the input efficiency in ecological environment assessment, which can greatly improve the monitoring efficiency and reduce the impact on environmental pollution. This review introduces the common types of UAV, types of UAV-based remote sensors as well as UAV communication, and their practical application in different coastal ecological environment monitoring scenes: terrestrial pollution source, marine debris, algae disaster, which can provide fresh perspective and thought for producer and researcher to develop the UVA remote sensing application in this field.
