I fly a drone commercially, but its not a huge part of my business. I was recently approached by a filmmaker inquiring to take footage around the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I'm trying to check on legality but I'm getting conflicting info. I am assured by the filmmaker that the Aquarium would give the all clear if it is otherwise legal to fly. So I have two questions:
1) Assuming it is legal to fly in, say, the 1/2 mile radius around the Aquarium, what sort of written permissions would you want from the Aquarium? Would it be as simple as a property release?
2) Have do you have experience flying in the area? In looking over this forum there seem to be multiple people saying Monterey is a great (and legal) place to fly but according to Aloft, and the FAA's own UAS data map it looks like up and down the waterline around the Aquarium is an absolute no-go.
