 Computers
hum and data scrolls across the screens in the Research Station between
the kelp forest and the underwater window into the Steller's sea lion
pool. Researchers around the north Pacific Ocean are studying Steller's
sea lions to find out why the western Alaska population is decreasing

In
the station, you can learn what kinds of questions researchers ask
and how they collect
data to formulate answers. You can read the most up-to-date studies
fresh off the Internet. You can also find out about
ongoing research into the biology and behavior of Steller's sea lions
