SEA LION TRACKS PROJECT

OCEANS BLUEPRINT and GIROUD are working together to power research to save endangered Sea Lions #sealiontracks.

The Sea Lion Tracks project will identify areas where sea lions travel, and where they find food and identify any overlap in potential threats in these areas.

OCEANS BLUEPRINT will coordinate the research with partner institutions and document discoveries and communicate the findings to community and government.

AUSTRALIAN SEA LIONS

Australian Sea Lions (Neophoca cinerea) are one of five sea lion species in the world, and is only found in Australia. The species is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List.

WHY THEY ARE ENDANGERED

Australian Sea Lions have small breeding colonies that occur in Western and South Australian waters, many that are genetically distinct making them vulnerable to local extinction.

The human threats they face include drowning in nets and marine rubbish, habitat degradation, human disturbance, deliberate killings, disease, pollution and oil spills, and climate change.
