Ocean Allison Podcast

Sarah is a Marine Physiologist at Sonoma State University studying both the lives and deaths of California's sea otters. Follow along as Sarah and I discuss how there's more to sea otters than just a pretty (and cute!) face. Her most recent research pinpoints End-Lactation Syndrome as a significant reason for mortality in adult female sea otters and the implications behind this.
