Sara Maxwell at UC Santa Cruz Long Marine Lab, CA--I've just arrived back from a week as part of the first field crew on San Nicolas Island where we were attempting to recapture sea lions satellite tagged back in November. So how do you catch a sea lion?  Not unlike how you tag an elephant seal - very carefully!  

Daniel Costa at Isla Lobos, Uruguay-- We've been busy over the last few days.  We've succeeded in deploying 8 tags out of the 10 we planned on!  So we have only two more to go before we've accomplished our goal.  We should  be able to have all the tags out tonight and tomorrow morning. Given that it gets really warm here in the mid day, we get up at first light and work until mid morning when it gets too hot for us and the sea lions.
