At first, NASA released a complicated science probe to see if glacial ice was appearing in the ocean. In the end, this scientific probe failed to accomplish anything. The NASA researchers then turned to a different approach to the problem, and decided to use many rubber ducks. Not only are the rubber ducks awesome, but they are cheap and possibly able to accomplish more than the probe did. The goal of the rubber duckies is to track where they end up in the water. This is to see the changes in the Earth's seas, which may possibly be tied to global warming problems.
The rubber duckies are planned to be found by fisherman, who could then contact NASA by the tags on the backs of the duckies. The bodies of water freeze over the winter, and thus results may be found in the summertime.

That's such a cool idea, I just hope that no animals try to eat them and get sick. NASA is very creative.
