Marine animals as platforms for oceanographic sampling: a "win/win" situation for biology and operational oceanography [PDF]
The development and deployment of logging and telemetry equipment on wide ranging marine animals has provided a wealth of data on their movements and behaviour. We can now predict, within reasonable limits, where many species go, which parts of the water
