Day 15: Monday

 Today was a busy day. I was running around doing errands with my mother. I also had to speak to a few people. I cooked dinner and tried my best to read up on new marine mammal information. It wasn't as long of research as my previous days but I'm hoping to head to the Boston Aquarium tomorrow for more information. The sun was out which was nice as well. Overall it was an okay day research-wise.

Hours Today: 30 min

Total Hours: 83/84 and 30 min

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 T otal : 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

Weekly Report:

  Madeleine Balser Senior Project  Kelly Griffin-Brown Weekly Report May 15, 2022                 Senior Project: Pacific Mammal Rescue Center This project has challenged me to truly make an impact in my close environment or community and  learn  how best to support those in my area. 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...
