That sounds like the perfect way to combine our passions—data, tech, and coral care. We should start with a high‑resolution, low‑noise camera, add a pH and temperature probe, and maybe a small AI‑edge chip to tag bleaching signs on the fly. Battery life is the tricky part; we might need a swappable pack so we can dive deeper without worrying about power. What do you think about adding a quick‑release mechanism so the drone can surface and auto‑charge? If we nail that, we’ll have a real-time bleaching alert system that could help reef managers spot problems before they get out of hand. Let's map out the specs and see where the budget lines up—excited to dive into this!
