Launched! Thank you for your support!

Hello backers,

Thanks again for helping and contributing to this project. As we get closer to the field season, we hope to update you all and send along photos of the animals we will be working with. Guadalupe Island is a remote site and we have a rare opportunity to study the animals that live there with an expert team from Baja California.

About This Project

A multidisciplinary team of researchers will assess the health of Guadalupe fur seal pups and adults by studying the wild population on Guadalupe Island off Baja California, Mexico. The goal is to gather information about several aspects of the physiology, ecology and behavior for this threatened species.
