Drone technology being used to track Skeena River eulachon run

Mar 19, 2016, 01:36 AM

Drone technology is opening up the world of the eulachon to fisheries researchers on the Skeena River.

Over the next three weeks, researchers will test the use of aerial videography to track the eulachon and gain a deeper understanding of their migration patterns.

Richard Sullivan, co-founder of Hummingbird Drones, is supplying the equipment for the project, and teaching locals how to use them.
