I'm not sure about 'Bottle' to satellite communications. As a variation, the idea could also be for a GPS receiver that logs. On washing ashore, the finder can return for a reward. Just need a cheap receiver...and plenty of them. |

Such devices exist in the form of probes floated in the oceans to sample temperature and salinity and ocean currents. Some are even capable of submerging and resurfacing.
