Mavic in the news hunting jellyfish!

[Davros007]

Mavic being used to spot a deadly jellyfish here in Australia (in the north). These critters can put you into cardiac arrest if you swim into them. Irukandji I believe is another name to Box Jellyfish.

Deadly danger lurking in this photo

Scientists believe drones could be the future of monitoring marine life and have already used the technology to track one of Australia’s most dangerous animals.

In fact, you can protect yourself with a full body-stocking I hear! Luck for me. I love wearing my lingerie to the beach!

Irukandji are box jellys but they are a different specimen. They are very small where the other box jellies can grow very big. Like they say, everything in Australia can kill you. ;-) Irukandji jellyfish - Wikipedia, Box jellyfish - Wikipedia

The Irukandji is a small, generally non-lethal relative of the much larger and definitely lethal box jellyfish.
