Hello MARMAM members, Hope you don't mind a message out of the blue! We built a tool to measure whales, which we call WHASER. It’s an easy-to-use LiDAR range finding device that can be attached to any drone, enabling accurate photogrammetric assessments of whales. More info here: https://www.tandem.ventures/whaser This whale measuring tool was created in collaboration with the charity Whale Wise, who now use it for their research in Iceland. We have now deployed more WHASERs to research teams in Hawaii and Chilean Patagonia, with more heading out soon. We are providing these to charities as close to at-cost as possible, our aim is is to get these out there, not to make money. We are looking to take WHASER on a great expedition to conduct some ‘world first’ research, perhaps a new species or a new location. We have looked at South Georgia Island, Antarctica, the Golfo de Penas in Chile, and we’re open to all options. Might there be any opportunities to tag along on an expedition or research trip? (we will bring a WHASER). The more adventurous, the better! We will make a film about the adventure to celebrate the fantastic marine science happening worldwide, and to showcase how technology can have a useful impact in these studies. Thank you Sam Rogers Co-Founder - Tandem Ventures ___________________
