Come see how Seattle Aquarium biologists spend their time while working with marine mammals: not only do they feed, train and care for the seals and otters in our exhibits, they also venture into the field to study the health, growth rate and behaviors of these species’ wild populations. Learn about their research methods—from tagging harbor seals in Puget Sound and counting sea otter pups off the Washington coast, to tracking Alaskan fur seal movement via NASA satellites. Then perform your own project by monitoring animal behavior in our new harbor seal exhibit or placing enriching treats in a river otter’s path to see the reactions that follow.
