Messages in bottles may sound so old and antiquated. But technology is putting a new spin on this time-honored tradition. In July 2018 a bottle containing a message and GPS tracking, was dropped into the ocean from a ship located just south-east of Iceland.
The project sponsoring the GPS tracked bottled message was designed to show how plastic and other garbage in oceans travel. The goal is to raise consumer awareness about litter and pollution throughout Iceland and beyond.
The project was a collaboration between eleven-year-old Atli Svavarsson, Verkis, and a popular Icelandic television scientist and children’s book writer. Atli, the eleven-year-old at the heart of the project believes garbage thrown into the oceans travels further than most humans realize and believes this project will show ordinary people just how far-reaching the consequences of oceanic pollution are.
Many businesses fully understand the benefits GPS tracking has to offer. Law enforcement is another sector that can realize the amazing benefits GPS fleet tracking technology brings to the table. These are just a few of the amazing benefits law enforcement can enjoy by adopting GPS tracking technology for your officers.
Viewed as prey by both mountain lions and wolves, according to a study, Yellowstone National Park elk have figured out the best way to avoid these predators.
While the elk do sometimes get caught, their ability of dodging the predators each day explains why the elk, wolves and mountain lions are all “thriving” on the park’s landscape.
Wolves are conspicuous, charismatic and simple to single out and the leading predator that affects the deer, elk and other prey animal populations. But, the study found the discreet cougar is really the top predator that influences the elk’s movement across the northern Yellowstone National Park’s winter range.
