On this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses a groundbreaking study where sea lions were used to map benthic habitats in Australian waters. By attaching camera tags to these endangered sea lions, researchers were able to uncover previously unmapped areas of the seabed, covering over 5,000 square kilometers. This innovative approach not only provided critical information for protecting the Australian sea lions but also offered insights into other marine species' habitats. Join Andrew as he delves into the details of this study and explores the potential of using animal-borne technology for conservation efforts. Don't miss out on this fascinating discussion on marine conservation and exploration!
