A Drone Initiative Launched By Ocean Unmanned For Whale Conservation

Ocean Unmanned Inc. declared a new initiative using drones for large-whale entanglement response efforts off of Maui, Hawaii. According to Oceans Unmanned, the freeFLY program provides training, equipment and management oversight to a network of Maui-based volunteer drone operators who are available to support the Hawaiian Islands Entanglement Response Network, led by Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary (HIHWNMS).

“Cutting free a 45-foot, 40-ton free-swimming animal is not an easy task; it can be dangerous. Drones may likely play an important role, as they are a valuable tool toward reducing the risks involved in this type of effort,” said Ed Lyman, NOAA’s large-whale entanglement response coordinator.

Furthermore, the freeFLY program will ensure that all the operators are well-trained and operate at the highest level of safety and professionalism and meet the requirements under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) permit.
