Turtles used in sea temperature research

Japanese researches have turned to Turtles in an effort to improve the accuracy of measuring sea temperatures. Five sea turtles in Indonesia have been fitted with monitoring devices – which will collect data for three months. All five turtles migrated between northern Australia and New Guinea Island - obtaining more than one thousand depth-temperature measurements during their dives. The researchers say traditional devices can lack accuracy because underwater equipment can't be used in shallow waters. Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
