The Great Pulgoso writes: A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts have begun testing the Turtlenet a decentralized network created with the specific purpose of tracking the population of snapper turtles. By attaching a wi-fi enabled solar powered GPS system to a turtle, they can track his movements throughout the area where the sensor is. Should the turtle leave the area, it will transmit the information to other turtles nearby so that the turtle nearest to the receiver downloads everything to the server.
