Replying to @FreezingSpray
I wouldn’t use the NS Coastal Hazard Map - it generalized SLR & storm surge scenario to single # s for the entire NS coastline. The documentation is absent on why this was done! @ns_environment @EcologyAction @CBCNS – at Halifax, Nova Scotia

This is a proactive warning in support of the @hfxgov fire emergency response. Remember you cannot operate an aircraft or a drone within 9.3 km of wildfires. It is illegal, you could be impeding firefighting operations, and you could be subject to penalties.

Planning a drone flight soon? Remember to follow the #DroneSafety rules: register your drone, get your pilot certificate and, if needed, request permission to fly in @navcanada controlled airspace. Learn more: navcanada.ca/navdrone

The fact that Ewan McGregor’s brother, Colin McGregor is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and his aviator nickname is “Obi-Two” is my new favorite bit of knowledge.

As the #bluecarbon research team patiently waits for #eelgrass seeds to mature for our replanting project, they’ve been snorkelling, creating and now testing a homemade sediment corer, and hired the amazing @flytbox to fly a drone for aerial imagery! Way to go team!

It's hard to pause things with so many cool projects going on, but I kinda need this right now. I'll still be on Twitter, and I'm getting a bunch of help, but the rockets will be on hold in the meantime. youtu.be/KYxOVKba0w0
