The study will at least see how far ranging these gorgeous endangered animals travel, in hopes that if they do not tend to go too far, perhaps some marine reserve (aka anti-fishing) legislation can be pressed for in the areas they tend to inhabit. We saw several dead babies at the site when we we there. Of course, we have no way of knowing why they died.

Very interesting observations! Were any scientists in your area informed about the corpses? They can perform necropsies, which might explain their deaths. One of the data gaps in understanding sealion population declines is the lack of dead body observations, this is magnified here as well because of the limited number of divers or other observers and general inaccessibility.

Not at the time. One was literally at the bottom of the anchor line. Due to aggressive behaviour, we called off the second day of diving. This all took place in February, three years ago.
