“The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says the act of collecting data changes the data. We’re hoping to collect the data without the animal knowing.” Iain Kerr, CEO of Ocean Alliance
Advances in drones and cameras have made it possible to capture powerful footage and biological data in one fell swoop, without disturbing marine species in their natural habitats.
Ocean Alliance has found an answer in SnotBot, a custom-built drone which hovers above a surfacing whale to collect mucus and snot, a treasure trove of scientific data that can drive much-needed solutions and protections.
In the first of three expeditions, Ocean Alliance studies Southern Right Whales in Patagonia, Argentina.
Parley is collaborating with Ocean Alliance to support the solutions we need to to better understand and protect the health of these magnificent creatures.
