Dear MARMAM subscribers, I am a PhD student currently conducting research on pinniped emotions. I am reaching out to the marine mammal community to ask if anyone with relevant experience would be willing to participate in this project. The project aims to assess rater perceptions of California sea lion and harbor seal emotional experiences. I am therefore looking for anyone who has experience working with these species (such as conducting research with, or working as a volunteer, intern, trainer, or keeper) who would be willing to spend 30-45 minutes completing an online questionnaire. If you would be interested in participating in this project, the link below will take you to the online survey. If you have any questions about participation in the project, or the project itself, please contact Amber de Vere at amber.devere@usm.edu. https://usmep.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bOuiRZ0WPaglO3X Please also feel free to forward this information on to anyone of relevance who you think would be suitable and interested in participating in this research. Thank you in advance for your help!
