Anchorage, Alaska, USA
September 30–October 3, 2004
Contact: Sherri Pristash, fyconf@uaf.edu
Changes in the abundance of sea lions is of growing concern to fisheries and conservation groups, either because fisheries are feared to threaten sea lions, or because sea lions are feared to threaten fisheries. The issues are common to all five species. This symposium brings together the world community of sea lion researchers to share their experiences and knowledge with each other. This symposium will significantly contribute to the understanding of fluctuating sea lion populations, especially as they compare to the Steller sea lion, by synthesizing current knowledge and forging new directions.
