This year, the team observed 92 Steller sea lion births on the rookery. This number adds to the many years of data that teaches us not just about these amazing marine mammals but about the entire ecosystem that they live in. | Alaska SeaLife Center | Facebook

Cleaning is a huge part of any animal care job, and being located in a temperate rainforest in Alaska presents its own challenges. Rain and snow don't stop this team from providing year-round top-notch care to the animals that call ASLC home. | Alaska SeaLife Center | Facebook
