Nicole Teutschel at Piedras Blancas, CA -- Today we ventured down the California Coast, from Santa Cruz to Piedras Blancas searching for Myoceen, a northern elephant seal tagged by TOPP. Myoceen is an adult female northern elephant seal featured on TOPP’s Elephant Seal Homecoming Days page. Typically, northern elephant seals return to the same colony year after year to breed and molt.
