Day 14: Sunday

  Today I did some more research. It rained a lot as well which wasn't ideal. As I said previously I planned to watch a documentary. It was hard to find one that fit my exact purpose. I found one that was called Andy Irons: Kissed By God which was really good but only really involved the ocean and not marine mammal rescue. So I found another which I watched as well called Wild Pacific Rescuee which was interesting. I also watched a sea lion episode on Netflix's wild baby nature documentary series. This in particular showed me some issues sea lions (particularly babies) deal with in the way of predators. 

Hours Today: To be honest I'm not even sure like 4?

Hours Total: Approximately 83/84 I believe

Day 13: Saturday

  Today I did more research which was very fulfilling. I also had an appointment in the morning which I got out of the way. I only researched for a bit today and found a documentary I plan on watching. I think the documentary will shed more light on marine mammal rescue for me. This in particular will help me learn more about the issues in my area. I will get an early night tonight and head to the beach in the morning tomorrow as well to get better in touch with the research I'm doing. So far I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge. I am excited to see where this knowledge leads me.  Hours Today: 1 hour 28 min Hours Total:  81

I learned about the struggles of sea lions, elephant seals, and harbor seals. Some issues included malnutrition, lack of maternal figure, pneumonia, sea lion pocks, and boats/people. I also learned about how these issues are treated . Malnutrition in particular takes a bit longer to treat because the animals must learn to gain a habit or understanding of how to catch their own  food. I also learned how to run a kiosk and get people interested in the topic you are presenting. The topic  I, fortunately, get to present is one that I care about in these animals and I feel very lucky for tha...
