Undergraduates collect elephant seal data

The 40+ year elephant seal demography study at Ano Nuevo
relies upon researchers, graduate students, and volunteers to
collect flipper-tag resight data.  We are currently training a
new group of undergraduate volunteers who will gain valuable
hands-on marine mammal experience.

Undergraduate volunteers Adam Taylor, Samantha Spurlin,
Shannon Miner, and Victoria Wade observe a group of
elephant seals a few meters away.
