Conservation Growing Up Sea LionProject Wrap Up! 11/21/12
I am writing this final entry on my way back to the United States. With the magnificent sights and sounds of Punta San Juan still fresh in my mind, I continue to be inspired by the team of people that came together over these past 12 days and thankful for their dedication and commitment to this project. Our trip was extremely successful with over 100 animal health assessments being conducted! With each animal being tagged we are hopeful that the students and staff at Punta San Juan will continue to bring in updates and data from these populations. As you can see from the photos, the environment in Punta San Juan is breath taking. Waking up to the sounds of pups calling mothers, waves crashing upon the shore and seabirds taking flight was simply amazing! Even in an area so remote from the rest of the world, it was disappointing to see animals suffering from pollution, toxins and entanglement. Our resources are limited and need to be appreciated and protected. Our goal is not to walk in for a week but to make a difference through teaching about these animals, our world and inspire changes in human behavior that will truly make a difference in saving our oceans. Oceans of Fun has committed to this project for the next 3-5 years and we hope that all of you will do your part as well!

Together we can all make a difference!
