I like the photo of their drone with rather improvised water floats on it.

Of course, Whales and Dolphins spread disease through their breath. They’re Mammals, right? Good to hear they are nailing down the virus that is causing so many strandings. Great to hear of new ways in which Drones are being used. NOW, let’s stop causing so much stress to them and their ecosystem. The Whales, that is, not so much the drones. 😁🙏
