Before the helicopter takes off, the media team has already set up four cameras. One fixed on the pilot and scientist, capturing real-time reactions when something appears below. One handheld. One wide-angle lens for the ocean beneath. One 360 camera running continuously through the flight. Every angle is set up in advance because aerial surveys move fast. When dolphins break the surface or a whale appears, the window to document it can last only seconds. The footage does more than show what happened. It becomes part of the scientific record, supporting population estimates, behavioral studies, and the data that helps inform marine protection in the regions we survey.
