Weanling elephant seals were equipped with satellite tags to record their first trip to sea! more We can marry elephant seals' migration tracks with satellite information about the ocean. It's likely that weanling or juvenile elephant seals feed in different areas than adults. We'd also like to know where the weanling elephant seals go when they first venture to sea, because more than 50% do not survive. It's important to know so that we can predict how a population of seals might fare as the climate changes. http://www.elephantseal.org/E-Seals/tagging.html Scope Themes: Biology > Mammals Keywords: Marine/Coastal, INE, USA, California, Mirounga angustirostris (Gill, 1866) Geographical coverage INE, USA, California [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage 19 April 2014 - 12 October 2014 Taxonomic coverage Mirounga angustirostris (Gill, 1866) [WoRMS] Parameter Occurrence of biota Contributors Related datasets Published in: OBIS-SEAMAP: Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertebrate Populations, more Publication Based on this dataset Coyne, M.S.; Godley, B.J.
