How long can a body remain in the sea before it sinks in temperate ocean?
Joe King asked:
First the body floats but how long before it sinks. How far offshore would it need to be before it can not be washed up on a beach. This will depend on how long it floats and the speed of the current.
This data could be used to work out how far a dolphin would need to be for the death not to be recorded on data. The reason for asking about temparate water is because in the tropics it would be eaten by sharks etc in a short time
