Live streaming video online gives viewers a rare opportunity to watch whales off the shores of Southern California CBS television station KFMB in San Diego reported.
"Maybe they're somewhere out in a different part of the country, or they're shut-ins or maybe they can't afford to go whale watching. They can tune in," Captain Dave Anderson told KFMB.
"Anyone can tune in and watch the live broadcast as it happens," Anderson told KFMB.
Anderson was able to record a significantly numbered group of dolphins in Dana Point, Calif Wednesday using drone technology, which he found to cost a lot less than observing the scene from the sky NBC television station 11 Alive reported.
"It would have cost between $10,000 and $20,000. This is smaller and more simple to fly." Anderson told 11 Alive.
Anderson received word about the spectacle from another water-goer who noticed the large group of whale species, and wanted to try out the technology for the first time, but took a precautionary approach while pursuing the sight in California's Dana Point.
"But I can't rush this kind of thing," Anderson told 11 Alive.
Anderson saw the dolphins forging ahead when he arrived to the area where his lead told him they were 11 Alive reported.
Anderson has also been able to record footage of a pack of grey whales along the shores of San Clemente, Calif, and a hump back calf being cared for by his mother in Maui KFMB reported.
The new idea of drone technology has welcomed discussion about its uses such as recording.
"People have so many concerns about privacy, and that's understandable. But if they outlaw drones, they have to realize they'll be outlawing this window into the lives of these beautiful animals." Anderson told 11 Alive.
"I wanted people to be moved to tears and care about these animals without me saying a single word. This is smaller and more simple to fly," Anderson told 11 Alive.
