pinniped population monitoring
Año Nuevo Island and the adjacent mainland host a large pinniped colony, including four different species: the northern elephant seal, northern sea lion, California sea lion, and harbor seal. Since 1967, researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the Smithsonian Institution have...
