In the TurtleCam project, I am temporarily mounting cameras onto the shell's of sea turtles to gain scientific insights into their secret lives. Each week from today, I will share a new TurtleCam video on YouTube to help raise awareness for sea turtle conservation! 

Video 51 of 60. This video was filmed in Eleuthera (The Bahamas) and it features a green turtle (Chelonia mydas).

TurtleCams are made from a small dive camera, a radio transmitter, and an upcycled fishing buoy. Each of these items is glued together to create a device that can be mounted directly on the shell of a free-swimming sea turtle using corrodible links that detach within a few hours allowing us to recover it and the footage it contains. These TurtleCams are providing us with a first-person (or should it be first-turtle?) perspective of how sea turtles see the world around them.
