Dear colleagues, The Alaska Department of Fish and Game and Sea Gypsy Research teamed up with Moore and Moore Films and Marni Productions to produce this 11-minute educational video that introduces the problem of Steller sea lion entanglement in marine debris. The video describes how sea lions become entangled, the most common sources of entangling debris, and what one could do to help reduce the number of entanglements. Title: Entanglement of Steller Sea Lions in Marine Debris: Identifying Causes and Finding Solutions Watch the Video - WMV format (requires Windows Media Player**) http://www.multimedia.adfg.alaska.gov/ If you are interested in a DVD of the video, please contact Lauri.jemison@alaska.gov. We have a LIMITED number available. Another short video (3 min) was produced by "Assignment Earth" using footage and information from the entanglement video above. If interested in viewing, see: http://news.yahoo.com/video/2714 <http://news.yahoo.com/video/2714> Thank you, Kim Raum-Suryan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kim Raum-Suryan Pinniped Ecology Applied Research Lab (PEARL) Marine Mammal Institute, Hatfield Marine Science Center 2030 S.E.
