Location:Pribilof Islands
Timing: June - October
Funding: NOAA
Project:On the Pribilof Islands, counts of adult male fur seals and estimates of pup production will be conducted to assess status and trends of the Eastern Pacific stock. Fur seals will also be tagged and observed during June-October to determine demographic mechanisms underlying ongoing population declines. Some fur seals will be outfitted with satellite-linked instruments to collect movement and diving behavior data during the summer breeding season and winter migrations.
