Tracking Turtles by Satellite
0 commentsI came across this site while doing some reading for a project at work (I'll be helping at home with the fam' business through NBAA in October).
How to Track Turtles by Satellite
They often rub their hard shells against corals or rocks, either by accident or to scrape off barnacles or other epizoans, animals and plants that live attached to the turtle's shell. If there is a foreign object attached to the shell -- like a satellite transmitter -- the turtle is likely to scrape it vigorously. Once the antenna breaks, there can be no more communication between the transmitter and the satellite. Bye, turtle!
