Equipment Research

Here comes the post for GEAR fanatics!!! 
WATERSHED EQUIPMENT RESEARCH
Getting around the Marsh (Kapadia, 2017)
When looking at the picture above, it is not hard to understand why the Jurrasic Park and Jurrasic World movies was shot here on the Hawaiian Islands. So remote, with such a fantastic nature. To keep this nature beautiful, it sometimes require more than rubber boots, a shovel and binoculars. Welcome to a presentation of local requirements and trouble. This post and the next: Invasive species is closely connected - as are they to the previous one: Dendrology. 

I present a slideshow that introduce you to local problems, and how they are solved. Further, I give my own research of one of the equipment types newest to the environmental field and organisations, which can widely help and capture current states of local wetlands and watersheds in general:

DRONES

  1. I had no idea drones had so many features! Thanks for sharing. I also appreciate that you included the local laws related to their use. Even if readers aren't located in Hawaii, it's a great way to highlight the fact that most states do have regulations for drones in place.

    1. Hi Jessica,
      Thanks for the response. I myself found the drones to be absolutely fantastic as an aerial view tool - which cause no harm to the area, as long as the operator knows what he/she is doing. The laws I found to be very important since many areas are closed for the use of drones, but luckily enough not in Kawainui Marsh.
