Older pups and juveniles were branded at rookeries and haulouts in SEA during May and August 2001 and June and November 2002. The research crew observed SSLs from small boats (17’ and 22′ Boston Whalers and a 22′ Safeboat) at each haulout or rookery. Sites were approached at a slow speed and initially surveyed from a distance of >100 meters to allow sea lions to become accustomed to the boat. A count was made of all SSL that could be seen. This count is likely low as some animals were difficult or impossible to see, especially those in low-lying areas. Observers used binoculars (8X to 14X) to conduct counts and read brands. When a branded animal was sighted, the boat approached closer to the haulout and digital photographs (Nikon D1X digital camera) were taken of the animal. When possible, each branded animal was photographed several times and once out of the field, one to four of the best photographs were saved. When a branded animal was observed the following data were recorded: brand number, brand quality, brand verification check (observer reads and records brand number, reads brand a second time and verifies the brand number written down), status (e.g., female with pup, pup suckling), tag color and number, and comments. When possible, sex and age class (pup, juvenile, adult) were recorded. At some sites it was difficult to adequately survey all animals from the boat; when conditions allowed, observers went ashore and surveyed from a high point above the haulout or rookery. Additional data collected at each site included: date, location, observers, photographer, start and end times, weather data, a count of non-pups, and a count of pups (except at larger rookeries, where accurate pup counts were especially difficult and time consuming to obtain; Table 2). We recorded and photographed sea lions with injuries, rope/net entanglements, or ingested fishing gear and recorded sightings of other pinnipeds and cetaceans. RESULTS During June-July, we attempted to survey every haulout and rookery in SEA where animals were likely to be hauled out. During the May and August trips, which were of shorter duration, we focused efforts on the four main rookeries and the outer coast haulouts that are not easily surveyed during fall/winter months. Steller sea lions were observed at all 17 sites surveyed in May, 26 of 28 sites surveyed in June-July, and 12 of 13 sites surveyed in August (Table 2). Excluding sites with <10 animals, branded animals were seen at all but one of the sites where animals were present. Estimates of the number of pups and non-pups on shore are provided in Table 2. Counting animals was not the primary purpose of these surveys and these counts, made from skiffs offshore, are likely low and are presented to provide general information on the number of animals present. The number of unique brands observed on each trip varied with 138 seen in May, 327 seen in June-July, and 243 seen in August. Overall, we observed 524 unique brands during our May – August observations. The May and August trips were similar in duration and number of sites visited. The greater number of unique brands seen in August can in part be attributed to the 90 observations of recently-branded pups, branded in late June-early July by ADF&G, and hence not available for sighting until the August trip. Brands Adults: branded as pups in 1994 & 1995 at Forrester Island complex (“F”) We made 107 observations of unique adult brands during our surveys, representing 13% of the total number branded in 1994 and 1995 (Table 3, Appendix I). Many more unique adult brands were seen during the June-July trip (89) than during May (16) or August (34). During May, fewer adults were hauled out on rookeries than later in the year. For example, during two days of surveys at all sites within the Forrester Island complex, only three branded animals (all adults) were seen in May, whereas in June-July, 37 branded animals (33 adults and 4 juveniles) were seen in one day. Twenty-six adult females were nursing or with a pup or juvenile, most at rookeries: Forrester Island complex (15), Hazy Islands (6), Graves Rock (2), and Biali Rock (2); one adult female was seen with a juvenile at Timbered Island. Six branded adult males were defending territories. Five of these males were at Hazy Islands (three 9-year olds, one 8-year old, and one 8 or 9-year old animal with an unreadable brand), and one 9 year-old male was at the Forrester Island complex. Only one adult was seen on all three trips: F517, a female, was seen at S. Marble Island in May, on Biali Rocks in June (nursing a pup or juvenile), and again at Biali Rocks in August. 2 Two-year-olds: branded as pups in 2001 at natal rookery: F - Forrester complex and H- Hazy Islands Overall we observed 70 unique Forrester 2 year-olds and 65 unique Hazy Island 2 year-olds, representing 25% and 31%, respectively, of the pups branded at those sites in 2001 (Table 3, Appendix II). Five of the Forrester 2 year-olds and four of the Hazy Island 2 year-olds were seen suckling or with a female. Twelve of the 2 year-olds were resighted on each trip; half of these were seen at the same haulout on all three occasions. One male, H11, was observed on four days during the June-July trip at three different sites: the Forrester complex (North Rocks) on 21 June, Cape Bartolome on 23 June, and at the Hazy Islands on 26 and 27 June. “=” brands - branded as older pups and juveniles in SEA during May & August 2001 and June & November 2002 We recorded 43 observations of unique = brands, 37% and 39%, respectively, of those branded in 2001 and 2002 (Table 3, Appendix III). Five of the = branded animals were seen suckling, two of which were 3 year-olds. Both 3 year-olds were seen suckling in June and August at different sites (one observation was made by the Lowrie Island camp crew). A sixth = branded animal was seen lying on an adult female but not seen nursing. Yearlings - branded June-July 2002 at natal rookery: F - Forrester, W - White Sisters, and V – Graves Rocks We observed 128 branded yearlings. Of these, 49 were branded at the Forrester complex (35% of animals branded there in June 2002), 57 at White Sisters (45% of animals branded at that site), and 22 at Graves Rocks (44% of animals branded at that site) (Table 3, Appendix IV). Overall, we observed 34 (27%) of these yearlings either nursing or with a female. Eight yearlings were seen on all three resight trips. Of the 22 unique Graves Rocks brands observed, all but one was seen at either Graves Rock or S. Marble Island. Pups - branded June-July 2003 at natal rookery: F - Forrester complex and H- Hazy Islands During the August trip, we resighted 35 (35%) of the pups branded at Hazy Islands in June-July 2003 and 55 (19%) of the pups branded at the Forrester complex in June-July 2003 (Appendix V). Of those pups observed, 17% were seen either suckling or with an adult female. All pups were sighted at their natal rookery. “Other” brands - branded as pups at Sugarloaf and Marmot islands in 2000 & 2002, Fish Island and Seal Rocks in 2001, and Rogue Reef (Oregon) in 2001 We observed 19 individuals that were branded at sites in the western stock: seven from Marmot Island, three from Seal Rocks, six from Sugarloaf Island, and three from Fish Island (Table 1, Appendix VI). All but three animals were seen at White Sisters, Graves Rock, or S. Marble Island. Eight of the 19 brands seen in 2003 were also observed in SEA during our brand-resight trips in 2002. Two animals originally branded at Rogue Reef in Oregon were seen at Cape Addington. Entanglements We recorded 25 sea lions entangled with some type of fishing gear, rope, or packing bands (Table 2). The greatest number of entangled animals, 17, was seen during our June-July trip. To estimate entanglement rates, we used counts of animals at haulouts and smaller rookeries (Graves Rock and Biali Rocks) and excluded the larger rookeries (Forrester Island complex, Hazy Islands, White Sisters) where animals are difficult to count and the numbers recorded are rough estimates at best. Using those criteria, entanglement rates were 0.07% in May, 0.19% in June, and 0.18% in August. It should be noted that these are crude estimates only; our surveys focused on resighting branded animals and some entangled animals may not have been seen. Our June and August estimated entanglement rates are similar to those seen during our June 2002 (0.18%) and August 2002 (0.16%) brand-resight trips. Other Pinniped Observations We observed three other pinniped species (harbor seals, Phoca vitulina, northern fur seals, Callorhinus ursinus, and California sea lions, Zalophus californianus). Harbor seals were seen at Hazy Islands and Little Island. One to three California sea lions were observed at Cape Addington, White Sisters, and Graves Rock. Northern fur seals were seen at Hazy Islands in June and August. In August, at least 17 fur seals were present on Hazy Islands, including four pups and two adult males. 3 Table 2.
