Beautiful day for some #drone flying practice in the Manukau harbour before summer fieldwork season begins🌞@DamesOfDrones @ScienceUoA

For many Māori, kina have long been a seasonal tohu, a sign: when pōhutukawa flower, the kina are fat. Now, they’re becoming a tohu of another kind: a barometer of the state of our troubled oceans, a prick to our collective conscience. But could we eat our way out of this? 1/2

Super fun day of learning how to fly @MMEG_UoA's drone! Can't wait to take this bad boy out to sea and capture a birds-eye view of our #MarineMegafauna! For now, I will be practicing on land where it's a bit less wavy and wet 🦈🐟🌊 @ScienceUoA #GirlsWhoDrone #WomenInSTEM

@ke_cain @JGMussoi Woohoo! Congratulations! 🐦🐦🐦
