UAV's for fisheries surveys

My friend and I are experimenting with the efficacy of UAV's for salmon redd surveys. Much of our work will be conducted in the wet and stormy weather of the Pacific Northwest and we need a setup that can withstand adverse weather conditions which include the possibility of crashing in water.

Can anybody out there recommend UAV's that would fulfill our required specifications? Other than trying to make everything water proof, I am open to any other suggestions about considerations that we should make when specing out our setup.

Thanks in advance for your help.
