Hmmm, that's a pretty good guess. Seems like a lot of work though just for a recon venture.

Very cool article, but it just asks more questions! Sea turtles have been around for a very long time. They surely have good reason to do whatever is they do! Wonder if "Man" is smart enough to figure it out. I have a feeling Sea turtles will be around a lot longer than we will.
