Conservation Growing Up Sea Lion
Project 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!   For tips on how  you can make a difference both globally and  in your own back yard check out our Conservation Tab at www.oceansoffun.org

Together we can all make a difference!
