Abstract :
The ultimate goal of the Steller Watch system is a tool that would provide comprehensive imagery data from remote locations for analyzing Steller Sea Lion behavior and a rich data set for scientific analyses. This project directly addresses three of the thirteen funding priorities for Steller Sea Lions: (1) predation by other mammals; (2) juvenile and pup survival rates; and (3) population counts.
