This webinar features NOAA experts discussing the ways NOAA aircraft, satellite tracking, and drone technology help us understand marine species and support conservation efforts along our oceans and coasts. How do we use drones to observe northern fur seals, airplanes to identify and count endangered North Atlantic right whales, aerial imagery to manage manoomin (wild rice), and satellite tags to follow seabirds? Learn about the unique tools we use to collect high-quality environmental data to better understand these important species and aid in conservation efforts. (Recorded November 12, 2021)
