How barnacles could help locate the missing Malaysian airlines flight

Barnacles could help us locate the missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370. These Barnacles, known as Gooseneck Barnacles, cement themselves to Ocean debris and then use minerals from the sea to build their shells layer by layer. Each layer is made up of slightly different minerals which can tell a story of the temperature and other conditions in the water where it was formed. A piece of the missing plane washed up on the French owned Réunion island off the coast of Madagascar in 2015 with gooseneck Barnacles attached. Since then scientists have developed ways of tracking the ocean temperatures he Barnacles had traveled through to then calculate through statistics the drift pathway that could lead back to the crash. #malaysianairlines #flight370 #barnacles #marinelife #science #news
