3 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Science is one of the foundations of our mission. Working with University of Alaska Fairbanks, we are at the cutting edge of coldwater marine research specializing in upper trophic levels. Our work directly informs marine educators, natural resource managers, and communities throughout Alaska.

Monitoring Black-Legged Kittiwakes In 2010, the remote monitoring cameras at Cape Resurrection started pulling double-duty. In addition to monitoring Steller sea lions, the cameras are being used to monitor nesting activity and productivity of Chiswell Remote Video Monitoring black-legged kittiwakes. Last year, University of Alaska There has been an inconsistent but upward trend in Fairbanks graduate student Sarah Tanedo (advisor Dr. Steller sea lion births at Chiswell Island over the past Tuula Hollmén) expanded on this work.

Steller Sea Lion Breeding Program In 2011, ASLC researchers began a Steller sea lion breeding program to better understand factors affecting this endangered species. Dr. Lori Polasek is leading a study on maternal investment – a closer look at the energy required for a female Steller sea lion to raise a pup from conception to weaning. On June 20, 2013 we reached a major milestone in the project. Eden, one of our female sea lions, gave birth to a female pup, Ellie. At 28 pounds, 10 ounces, Ellie’s birth marks the first captive Steller sea lion born in North America in over 20 years. Ellie’s father is Woody, our iconic male Steller sea lion, who turns 21 this year. Staff have confirmed that Eden is pregnant and are looking forward to Eden and Woody having another pup in 2014.

5 EDUCATION At the Alaska SeaLife Center, our “K through Gray” approach to education means inspiring and empowering lifelong learners and ocean stewards. Meaningful education connections can take many forms. On any given day, one educator may be busy teaching a group of second graders about marine mammal adaptations. Another might be leading a group of retired professionals through a Road Scholar presentation. Yet another could be coordinating a workshop designed to build the science and technology capacity of Alaska’s formal educators. Meanwhile, certified interpreters are interacting with hundreds of visitors throughout the Center and connecting them to the importance of studying Alaska’s marine ecosystems.

Building Ocean Awareness Together (BOAT) The BOAT Project set sail at the Alaska SeaLife Center last year with the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Florida Aquarium. Our mission: to increase public understanding Ocean Sciences Club of complex topics that impact the ocean. To do this, BOAT partners are providing training to informal science The Ocean Sciences Club has proven to be a popular educators across the country.

The kiosk uses ocean imagery, sounds, and video clips to help visitors understand the relationship between humans and the ocean. Each month, an average 8,600 visitors learn about our oceans through the Ocean Today kiosk at the Center, making it the sixth-busiest installation in the country.

6 The Pinnacle of Learning The Alaska SeaLife Center received the Pinnacle Award from the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC) for the 2012-13 school year. The Center has earned this award three times since 2008 (plus two honorable mentions). This prestigious award recognizes outstanding educational programming by content providers. The CILC issues the awards based on evaluations by teachers who have used the content in their classrooms.

One of the many schools they visited was Salcha Elementary. The students there responded with a clear love of the ocean and some heartfelt thank you letters.

Village Outreach Sometimes students can’t visit the Center in person, so we bring the ocean to them! In March 2013, ASLC educators traveled to the Lower Kuskokwim School District to deliver outreach programs to students in Bethel, Atmautluak, and Napakiak. In April, educators traveled to the Northwest Arctic Borough School Virtual Field Trips are proving to be a popular outreach District and met with students in Kobuk and Kotzebue. tool since they are accessible to any classroom with In September, an ASLC educator visited Perryville’s an internet connection.

Caring for Sea Otters Four northern sea otters – Katmai, Nuka, Agnes, and Aurora – all called the Alaska SeaLife Center home in 2013 after being rescued from beaches in Homer, Kenai, and Kodiak. In March, Katmai became the third otter rehabilitated at the Center to be transferred to the . The others spent much of the year floating around in the I.Sea.U, where guests could see staff feeding and caring for them.

Oiled Wildlife Response & Preparedness As the only permanent facility for rehabilitating marine mammals in Alaska, our ability to respond to disasters affecting marine wildlife is critical. In 2013, ASLC staff presented our capabilities to the Alaska Regional Response Team, a statewide group of agencies tasked with training for and responding to oil spills. Thanks to support from industry partners, ASLC staff participated in HAZWOPER and oiled wildlife response training with Mobile Transport more than 12 different public and private organizations from across the country. Plans to expand this network of & Rehabilitation Enclosure response-ready trained professionals is underway. Through our partnership with Alaska Clean Seas, ASLC staff designed and constructed a unique wildlife response prototype: the Mobile Transport & Rehabilitation Enclosure (MTRE). The modular 15-foot diameter pool can be used to stabilize marine mammals prior to transport and to rehabilitate marine mammals in remote locations when transporting them to the Center is not feasible. Staff deployed and assembled the unit during an emergency response drill on the North Slope in August, and are now working to create a second unit.

“Stellar” Steller Sea Lions: Woody and Pilot Woody, our oldest male Steller sea lion at the Center, tipped the scales at a whopping 2,394 lbs. in May 2013. That’s his largest recorded weight ever! Most male Steller sea lions in the wild don’t live as long as Woody is now, so at age 21 he is looking toward retirement. Our younger The ever-popular Microhabitats received a makeover last male sea lion, Pilot, will have some big winter. New residents also moved in, including smooth shoes to fill.

Behind-the-Scenes Tour route last year. Colorful paint and new interpretive panels now make for a more engaging and immersive guest experience.

The Legend of LuLu The first eggs from LuLu, our egg-tending giant Pacific octopus (GPO), hatched on March 6. A lucky family visiting the Center was first to see the hatchlings. Over the next several months, LuLu’s 30,000-some offspring continued to hatch and delight visitors of all ages. In the wild, GPO emerge as tiny paralarvae that float with thecurrent. In an aquarium, they run into tank walls, damaging their delicate skin and organs. While none of the paralarvae survived to adulthood, LuLu and her offspring allowed countless visitors to learn about the species’ life history, feeding habits, and behavior.

10 GREEN INITIATIVES Green Star® Certified Icy Heat: Seawater Heat Pumps The Alaska SeaLife Center achieved Green Star® Three years ago the Alaska SeaLife Center installed certification in February 2013. heat pumps that convert energy from cold seawater into Green Star® encourages building heat. Since then, the Center has saved almost Alaskan businesses to $10,000/month on its heating bill while reducing its practice waste reduction, carbon emissions. In fact, the Center didn’t even buy energy conservation, and heating fuel during 2013. Over half of the building’s pollution prevention. This certification is our way of heat is now supplied by the seawater heat pump system. showing we are “walking the talk” of ocean stewardship. Engineers are working to add high-temperature heat pumps so the system can provide even more of the building’s heat.

LED Lighting The Alaska SeaLife Center’s future is looking brighter, thanks in part to new LED lighting in the building. ASLC staff mounted several dozen kits that convert traditional fluorescent ballasts to LED lighting. The new light fixtures are so efficient that they should pay for themselves in less than two years. As a bonus feature, staff also enjoy the lack of the familiar fluorescent “hum.”

GYRE: THE PLASTIC OCEAN As an organization focused on stewardship of Alaska’s marine ecosystems, we encourage individuals to be savvy about their use and disposal of plastics. To this end, on June 7, 2013 an international team of scientists, conservationists and artists set sail aboard the R/V Norseman. Led by ASLC Conservation Director Howard Ferren, the team collected and documented marine debris along Alaska’s shores. Their goal: to clean beaches in the Gulf of Alaska while raising awareness of the increasing levels of trash and plastics entering our oceans. National Geographic produced an online video documentary of their journey. The debris they found along the way became the basis for an art exhibit called GYRE. The exhibit is on display at the Anchorage Museum through September 6, 2014.
