Alaska Fisheries Science Center NOAA Fisheries Open Data Portal: https://noaa-fisheries-afsc.data.socrata.com/Species/Sightings-of-marked-Alaska-Steller-sea-lions-throu/dt2n-7ve8 This dataset contains information regarding the sighting and capture of Steller sea lions marked in Alaska from 1987 to 2014. Marks are seen and documented in a variety of ways; remote cameras, dedicated vessel- and land-based surveys, recaptures of Steller sea lions, aerial survey photographs, strandings, and opportunistic sightings sent in from the public. The primary purpose of this dataset is to estimate vital rates, survival and fecundity of permanently marked Steller sea lions.
