Started activities at Kuroshima Research Institute, a donated research vessel

In August 2022, Kuroshima Research Institute and the University of Tokyo Air and Ocean Research Institute conducted a joint research study of sea turtle feeding behavior using the donated research vessel "AKARI."

The sea turtle is released by attaching a video camera and a GPS that tells the location to the back.

The equipment will be detached from the sea turtle and surfaced to the surface a few days later.
By collecting the video camera, you can examine the sea turtle's actions from release to camera collection as video.
