Image Of the Day caption:
A team that included Mike Dodge, WHOI engineer Amy Kukulya, and NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center biologist Kara Dodge (left to right) headed out of Woods Hole at sunrise recently to test a new sea turtle tracking system based on SharkCam that was first used to follow white sharks. TurtleCam, as it has become known, includes an acoustic transponder that team members attach to a turtle's shell and a specially equipped REMUS 100 autonomous underwater vehicle that locks on to the transponder and follows the tagged animal. The researchers are using TurtleCam to reveal more about the hidden life of these endangered animals.
