This project will synthesize salmon remains recovered from sea lion scat samples with sea lion survey data (sea lion distribution and abundance) and bioeneregetics models (sea lion prey requirements) to assess what species and which stocks of salmon are being impacted by sea lions, and to identify where and when those impacts are occurring.
