Scientists deploy northern elephant seals with sensors to study the ocean's "twilight zone."

Scientists are using northern elephant seals equipped with smart sensors to monitor the health of the ocean's "twilight zone," a deep area rich in fish. These sensors collect data like temperature and salinity, helping researchers understand fish populations and the potential impacts of commercial fishing. The seals, available for study during their migratory routes, provide unique insights into the ocean's health and ecosystem dynamics.
