I've been working with Pis since they came out, its a great little development board and I've done many projects with them, both successful and unsuccessful. I wouldn't trust a Pi to control my drone, that and Android for Pi is not a success story. I would explore other avenues.

Neat, I wish I had area like that to explore close by. Watch Expedition Overland on YT, they have some good video and you might pick up some ideas. And they're interesting to watch if you're into that kind of thing. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiyiTqpss-ihtLHz-juFxIQ

What amazes me is that the smaller the country (Maldives is a speck in the ocean) the more important they deem themselves.

I like my iPad mini 5 as well, a great improvement over my phones and Samsung tablet.

Only if there is something illegal in the photos ;)

Not to be confused with Advil... what you need after the drone falls on your head ;)

VLOS?

Awesome

What could go wrong?

I believe USA regs are 100m from whales, but not 100% sure. Researches are allowed to get closer, I believe 30m. I doubt a whale would even hear a drone at 30m. Check out the whale photos by Stacy Garlington aka DroneDiva. She is involved in whale research so she does have an unfair advantage...

Scaled from photos taken at a known altitude, very simple to do.

Meh... 1/2.3 sensor

My USB-C port broke on my phone, causing a whole heap of problems.... USB-C is not perfect either ;)

DD is the simpler of the 2 if you are new. They have some training videos, but it is real easy to figure out.

Thinking outside the bun here.... use mapping software (DroneDeploy, Maps Made Easy, Pix4D) and map the area, then get the ortho and you will be able to get GPS coords from the ortho. Just a suggestion ;)
