Drone Pilot Uses Propeller Noise to Warn Surfer of Circling Shark
On June 10, Northern California drone pilot Nick Bertocchini was flying over Seascape Beach in Aptos when he spotted a shark circling a surfer named Rex. Rather than filming the encounter, Bertocchini dove his drone low and throttled up the motors, using propeller noise to alert Rex and prompt him to paddle safely ashore. The incident has renewed discussion about the potential role of consumer drones in coastal shark monitoring.
