Miscellaneous:

Here are some great shots from Julie Dodson on board the Pelagic, during the class whalewatch trip in 2006.

Here is a photo album Amanda Bradford made from images she took on the Western Prince II of Donna Hauser's lab section during the class whalewatch trip in 2006. It's a PDF file and was easier to make then importing 44 photos individually to this website, but you should be able to copy the images that you want from the file.  Please contact Amanda Bradford (TA in the 2006 class) at alb992@u.washington.edu if you want her to send you JPEGs of certain images.

Here are some marine mammal pictures from Adam Shimer, a student in the 2006 class.

Videos:

Here is a link to a 25-min video about northern fur seal conservation on the Pribolof Islands. It tells the story of their decimation due to sealing, their recovery after efforts from an early 20th century naturalist, and then their most recent marked decline of unknown origin. The video has some cool footage, particularly of a pup being born and all the sniffing and vocalizing that goes on between the pup and its mother. Check it out!

Another recent killer whale video, not such great quality, but showing a different victim (eastern gray whale calf).

Here is a link is a link to some truly amazing video of foraging killer whales in the Antarctic. It's worth seeing and not a hoax!
