Dear colleagues,
On behalf of my co-authors, I am delighted to share our new Note published in Marine Mammal Science showing that UAVs flown by professional pilots can collect breath samples from killer whales with little impact:
Lo, C. F., Nollens, H. H., Nollens, B. A., Sears, M., Hanson, M. B., Weiss, M. N., Sheppard, J., Welch, C., Friel, R., & Gaydos, J. K. (2024). Behavioral responses of Bigg's and Southern Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) to uncrewed aerial vehicle-based
breath sample collection. Marine Mammal Science, e13192.

Much work still to be done; using this to explore the concept of species
for conservation purposes. I will be at IMCC7, presenting, and diving, next
week. Would love to meet up.

2025 Marine Mammal Rescue and Rehabilitation Internship Announcement
California Wildlife Center is excited to announce internship opportunities for the Winter, Spring and Summer 2025! California Wildlife Center is in Calabasas, California, and responds to reports of stranded marine mammals 365 days a year along the Malibu Coastline.
Our pinniped rehabilitation facility is active during the region?s period of highest strandings, which is January through July.
Winter Session = Mid-December through Early-February (flexible start & end dates)
Spring Session = March 3rd through May 25th
Summer Session = May 26th through August 10th
Time Commitment: 28-40 hours per week
Vaccination Requirement:
To be considered, applicants must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
Summary/Program Description
The California Wildlife Center (CWC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of injured, orphaned, and sick native wildlife. CWC fulfills this mission through marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation, and treatment of
avian and terrestrial wildlife in our rehabilitation hospital. This internship will provide an exciting and challenging educational experience in the marine mammal rehabilitation field. Working closely with the Marine Mammal program staff, individuals are
exposed to various aspects of pinniped stranding response and rehabilitation, including logistics, assessment, capture, restraint, transportation, husbandry, data collection, and public relations. On-site we provide care for young California sea lions and
Northern elephant seal pups.
Intern Responsibilities
Under supervision of Marine Mammal staff, experiences will include:
* Assessing stranded marine mammals on the beach
* Assisting or lead responder teams in the capture and handling of stranded marine mammals requiring rescue.
* Providing appropriate transport conditions for stranded marine mammals to the rehabilitation facility.
* Maintaining detailed records of daily activity reports of stranding, human interaction, and patient health status
* Performing daily husbandry tasks for pinniped patients admitted to the rehabilitation facility.
* Working closely with Marine Mammal department staff to provide patient-specific rehabilitative care.
* Adhering to all safety guidelines set forth by California Wildlife Center and the Marine Mammal Department.
* Participating in releases of healthy marine mammal patients back to their Pacific Ocean home.
* Maintaining good rapport with representatives of various public agencies, as well as members of the public.
* Learning to identify native species of Marine Mammals and Marine Birds and explore their life history.
* Assisting with marine mammal necropsy and sample collection.
Winter Session will focus on rescue and rehabilitation of California sea lion pups, and facility preparation for the busy season.
Spring Session will focus on in-house rehabilitation of Northern elephant seal pups. All species and age classes are rescued during this session, then transported to other rehabilitation centers for continued care. *Spring stranding months are the busiest and
most demanding.
Summer Session will focus on responding to larger California sea lions and releasing rehabilitated Northern elephant seals.
Qualifications
This internship is open to all applicants at least 18 years of age or older. Undergraduate students and non-students alike are encouraged to apply. If an intern intends to receive academic credit, they will be responsible for making all arrangements with their
educational institutions. Due to the unpredictable nature of marine mammal stranding response, interns must be able and willing to work flexible hours including weekends and holidays. Interns will be required to have good physical strength and the ability
to lift/carry 50 lbs. Interns need to have the ability to multitask and work in a fast-paced environment. Previous marine mammal experience is not required.
Housing and transportation are the sole responsibility of the intern. Must have own transportation and current drivers? license. *Individuals may be eligible for mileage reimbursement at the end of their session, up to $1,000.
To apply - Submit the following items via email to:
Heather Henderson / hhenderson@cawildlife.org
* Letter of intent
* Resume
* Proof of COVID Vaccination
Your letter of intent should the session(s) that you are applying for and detail your specific areas of interest.
