Where do you spend your lost years, little turtle?
In late October, a collaborative team of researchers from Two Oceans Aquarium and Upwell took a boat into the swift Agulhas Current, the southwest boundary current of the Indian Ocean that runs down the east coast of South Africa.

Does their positioning influence which ocean basin they end up in? What a wonderful opportunity to learn of time that is otherwise lost to the ocean’s depths.
