Spring Science Series - Drone Research with Ocean Alliance

Studying whales is difficult. To protect them and secure their survival, we need to better understand the threats they face and how these threats are affecting the animals. At Ocean Alliance we are using drones to help spur a data collection revolution in marine mammal science, from collecting whale snot to study their microbiomes, to deploying data tags to watch their lives underwater. Understanding whales, and their importance to the health of our planet, has never been more accessible.

Join Maritime Gloucester and Ocean Alliance’s Drone Programs Manager, Chris Zadra, as we dive into the challenges and successes of studying these ocean giants. Register here to watch Tuesday’s lecture online through Zoom or in-person in Maritime Gloucester’s museum gallery.
