Title: Remote Science
Description: An elephant seal fitted with a remote tracking and dive recording device on Marion Island. The island’s population of southern elephant seals has declined dramatically due to adult female and juveniles not surviving their circumstances. With the aid of remote tracking and diving recording devices, researchers can analyse, among other things, the movement of mothers and relate that to the growth of their pups. |
