Once numbering over 200,000 animals, the population has plummeted in recent years, in some areas by as much as 80 percent. Why are Steller sea lions disappearing, and what can be done to stop the population crash? This program will take you on a field trip to sea lion rookeries in remote parts of the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands. There you will be treated to a remarkable look at how sea lions live in Alaska’s North Pacific, one of the world's most breathtaking natural environments. You will also learn what scientists from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the National Marine Fisheries Service and their university colleagues are doing in their race against time to solve the mystery of the sea lion's decline.
