Researchers will develop new release hatches for crab traps to curb the bycatch drowning of diamondback terrapins in coastal areas where turtle populations overlap with blue crab fisheries.
In this pilot study, researchers will attempt to improve seizure monitoring in California sea lions affected by domoic acid, a harmful marine toxin, by building a mechanism to monitor brain electrical activity.
This study is part of our fellowship program, established to support early career research scientists. The Fellow will use advanced genetic technologies to discover causative agents of severe disease and high mortality in yellow-eyed penguin chicks.
