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.
