Drone Research

Drones are used by the EBRWS team as a tool for collecting photography of the whales for photo identification including unique callosity patterns, blazes, marks and scars, sex, body condition, location, core habitat use areas, fine scale movements and behaviour.

The quality of the overhead imagery is groundbreaking for the research. All drone data is collected under research permit number – M26085-13.
