We are pleased to announce the opening of registration for our study abroad course entitled: Field Ecology: Behavior and Conservation of sea lions. This 6-credit course will be taught at ASU and at sea lions breeding colonies on islands in the Gulf of California, Baja, Mexico. Focus will be on the integration of behavior and conservation biology in the California sea lion. Students will learn and apply field methods commonly used to study pinniped populations. Before embarking on our field trip, students will learn the biology of marine mammals and ecology of the sea lions and receive training on the field methods commonly used to estimate population size and to measure behavior on pinnipeds at Arizona State University. The group will be camping on Islands in the Gulf of California, Mexico, with no facilities. Outdoor experience and the ability to work in difficult, hot conditions for long hours is a must.
