The world is composed of 71% bodies of water, where an estimated 2.2 million species of marine life resides. Unfortunately, humans are being too obnoxious in treating these bodies of water, including the marine life. Thankfully, there are plenty of organizations that work on establishing marine solutions to this kind of environmental problem.
Water pollution has been a widespread problem as an approximate of 1.4 billion pounds of trash gets dumped into the oceans every year. Although many government and non-government organizations are building programs and advocacies in taking care of the bodies of water, the problem still continues to worsen.
Our human nature may have set limits for us to continue looking after the bodies of water and protect them from being polluted and abused, but technology has surpassed these limitations. Technology has even opened up more opportunities for us to discover and become aware of the real situations of our marine resources.
At present, drone solutions are being used in guarding the ocean and keeping an eye for people who are abusing the marine resources. Many drone users have reported and have publicly released some footage of people doing dynamite fishing, capturing endangered marine animals and even some people throwing tons of wastes on the bodies of water.
As these kinds of footage became widespread, the use of drones in protecting the marine life became even more prevalent. With drones’ features, they became the perfect devices for keeping an eye to our bodies of water.
Drones are easy to manipulate, are portable, and can capture footage at far distances and high altitude. This features and capabilities of making them the best devices for saving the marine life. Besides these, here are some few more ways on how drones can save the ocean:
1. Fly ahead of ships in order to spot whales before a collision.
No one would ever want to accidentally hit or collide with whales, right? However, these instances are quite inevitable as you may need to be able to spot the whales miles away in order to slow down to avoid the collision. Drones that are flying miles ahead can instantly spot whales so big ships can slow down in order to avoid colliding with whales.
2. Can prevent oil spills to worsen.
Oil spills happen from time to time. Whether they originate from poorly-maintained boats, or sunken ships; drones that can easily capture the condition of a situation so that officials can easily make necessary actions to control the situations. Some drones can even prevent oil spills to take place.
3. Monitor endangered and nesting animals without disturbing them.
It is hard to monitor endangered and nesting animals without disturbing them as we need to keep a certain distance in order to be able to keep an eye on them. Drones, on the other hand, can capture close and clear footage without disturbing marine animals.
4. Inculcate appreciation of marine life to people through beautiful footages of marine life.
This is the most priceless thing that a drone could ever give to people. Through beautiful footage of marine life, we are able to open our eyes to what our oceans and bodies of water have to offer. Technology has exceeded our limitations as humans so even the far oceans can be easily reached within minutes through drones. These footages will later bear effects on our appreciation for marine life, which will then make us responsible in the future.
Indeed, drones have opened up our eyes and have shown us more of what this world. With its tiny yet useful features, we are able to see the reality that our oceans and bodies of water are facing. We are able to realize how bad the conditions of these waters are. We are able to see that behind the beautiful beaches and amazing shores are the dying marine life forms.
