| Aspect | Remote Faa 107 | Remote Faa 107 |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | FAA 107 Remote Pilot Certificate | FAA 107 Remote Pilot Certificate |
| Work Environment | Remote drone operation, regulatory compliance | Remote drone operation, regulatory compliance |
| Industry Usage | Aerial photography, surveying, inspections | Aerial photography, surveying, inspections |
Since both roles are the same, the primary difference lies in the context of usage or specific job focus. Both involve remote drone operations requiring the FAA 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, and they are used across similar industries such as surveying, inspections, and aerial photography. The key distinction is often in the employer or project specifics rather than the role itself.

Part-time
Posted 14 days ago
Location: Laguna Beach, California
Organization: Laguna Ocean Foundation (LOF)
Status: Part-time (Contingent upon funding)
The Laguna Ocean Foundation (LOF) is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and restoring Laguna Beach’s coastal ecosystems through science, education, conservation, and community engagement. Working with universities, government agencies, and community partners, LOF is advancing innovative coastal monitoring by integrating field ecology with drones, GIS, machine learning, environmental DNA (eDNA), and citizen science.
Position SummaryLOF seeks a motivated Science and Conservation Associate to support the technical foundation of its research and conservation programs. This position transforms field observations into high-quality geospatial data that inform ecological monitoring, restoration, conservation planning, and public education across Laguna Beach’s Marine Protected Areas.
The Associate will manage geospatial workflows—from drone and underwater ROV surveys through machine-learning analysis, GIS integration, habitat mapping, and scientific visualization. Working closely with LOF biologists, university researchers, GIS specialists, and interns, the Associate will help build one of California’s most comprehensive long-term coastal spatial datasets while supporting scientific publications, grant-funded research, StoryMaps, and emerging conservation technologies.
Position contingent upon funding.
