Mysterious colorful boxes with letters attached to them wash up on beaches - and have an important secret purpose

• The boxes have a tracking device to help track movements of the sea turtles
• The public is asked to take photos, notes of its location and to contact a hotline

How is a floating yellow box supposed to replicate the movements of a sea turtle? Do they assume that the percentage of the turtle propelling itself around vs drifting in currents is negligble so a similar sized immobile floating box will be close enough in the bigger scheme of things?
