Bay watch: Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's) to survey the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri.

Biological investigations on free ranging marine species are regarded as challenging throughout the scientific community. This is particularly true for 'logistically difficult species' where their cryptic natures, low abundance, patchy distributions and difficult and/or dangerous sampling environments, make traditional surveys near impossible. What results is a lack of ecological knowledge on such marine species.
