For Immediate Release

Despite their bulk, Steller sea lions dive with grace and agility. They can stay submerged for up to eight minutes and dive to depths of 3,000 feet to maintain their diverse diet.

Jennifer Burns, assistant professor of biology at the University of Alaska Anchorage, will discuss how diving and foraging behavior changes over the lifespan of the marine mammals in her lecture, "Diving With Alaska's Steller Sea Lions." The presentation will be held on Monday, February 21, at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium, UAA.
