A groundbreaking initiative is underway in the Indian River Lagoon, as a high-tech drone is being used to deliver 1 billion baby ‘super clams’ to bolster the estuary’s natural defenses. Spearheaded by the Coastal Conservation Association Florida, the ambitious project aims to restore clam populations. The deployment of these clams via drone represents a significant milestone in lagoon conservation efforts, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to achieve large-scale restoration.
