Scientists Use Drones To Study Whales, Dolphins Off Hawaii For The First Time

For the first time, scientists used drones to study whales and dolphins during a 30-day expedition to the Hawaiian islands this summer.

Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said it is difficult to gather data on the animals, especially around the coasts of the islands, which are marred by severe weather conditions and raging winds, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
