		The roughly 375-pound mammals are among a number of California sea lions that have been in the gulf since late January to assess their potential as underwater lookouts.
		Until their skills are proven, the sea lions will not be deployed as part of the Navy's 5th Fleet regular security force in the gulf, said Tom LaPuzza, a spokesman for the warfare systems center.
		Sea lions were originally trained to recover objects for the Navy following training exercises, and it was that talent that trainers have refined to teach the animals to find humans.

	Distribution of Steller Sea Lions - Marine Mammal Research Consortium
		Sea lion scat samples were collected during the 1990s from seven geographic regions from Oregon to the western and central Aleutian Islands.
		In this investigation principal component analysis was applied to data from 1979-90 on sea lion counts for 25 sea lion rookeries in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands, and independently to fishery observer data from 1980-89 for the commercial groundfish fishing operations that occurred within a distance of about 37 kilometers of these rookeries.
		Rookeries that suffered relatively large declines in sea lion counts early in the study period generally experienced large winter pollock catches, but rookeries that suffered declines late in the study period experienced either no winter pollock catches or ones that occurred late in the study period.

		Troops had received precisely zero training for seaborne and landing operations, and nothing had been done to gather the means of getting troops across the Channel.
		The operational plan was to sail the barges in and capture it.
		The situation with regard to mariners for the barges with experience of the sea was even worse.

	::Operation Sealion::
		Operation Sealion was the name given by Hitler for the planned invasion of Great Britain in 1940.
		Operation Sealion was never carried out during the war as the Germans lost the Battle of Britain and it is now believed that Hitler was more interested in the forthcoming attack on Russia as opposed to invading Britain.
		The failure of the Germans to defeat the RAF had to lead to the cancellation of Operation Sea Lion which was announced on September 17th 1940.

		Scores of sea lions — some weighing as much as 800 pounds — started showing up in the harbor here in late summer and have been barking, partying, vomiting, defecating and literally throwing their weight around.
		Sea lions here have attracted plenty of attention, in part because of the neighborhood's wealth — people who live on seagoing yachts and some of the most expensive real estate in the country.
		He and the boat operators want the federal government to order some controls on the sea lion population or come up with non-lethal means of discouraging them.

		At 0245, Sea lion, ahead of the task force, turned in and slowed for the attack.
		The wardroom was redesigned for use as an operating room; the beam aft of the conning tower was extended; and a large watertight cylindrical chamber was installed abaft the conning tower to store amphibious landing equipment—including an LVT.
		Reclassified LPSS-315 in January 1969, Sea lion was ordered inactivated the following summer; and, in September, she proceeded to Philadelphia where she was decommissioned and placed in the inactive fleet on 20 February 1970.

	Decline of Steller Sea Lion Population - Marine Mammal Research Consortium
		The status of Steller sea lion populations and the development of fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands.
		The goal of our study was to assess the status of Steller sea lions in Alaska, review their population biology, and develop a simulation model to explore the role that harvesting and incidental kills by fisheries may have played in the sea lion decline.
		Some sea lions are missing in the arithmetic of population dynamics which cannot be accounted for by movements of animals from one area to another.

	Military History Online
		Typical of operations in the Third Reich part of the work was undertaken by Organization Todt, part by the Army, part by the Air Force and part by the Navy with no coordination of effort.
		The Army saw Operation Sea Lion as nothing more than a large river crossing in which the "Luftwaffe will do the work of artillery, while the Kriegsmarine will do the work of engineers." Through sheer audacity and at great cost the Kriegsmarine had barely succeeded in Norway.
		Operations were constrained by logistic concerns and senior leaders were frequently criticized for tentative strategic movements and failing to respond quickly to fleeting tactical opportunities.

	Operation Sealion

		Named Operation Sea Lion, the cross channel invasion was to follow massive air raids by the Luftwaffe in order to take out the RAF and hurt the English navy, while destroying British morale.
		Had Operation Sea Lion been a success, the Germans would have held the British Isles and been able to transfer thousands of troops to the Eastern front.
		This operation was one of the deadliest but most rewarding because it helped destroy dictatorships and allow democracy to reign throughout the world.

		While sea lions had been legally protected in some form or another in California since 1909, Mexico had yet to follow suit.
		While the article was the highlight of the conservancy effort for Clinton Abbott, as he withdrew himself from the struggle shortly after the article appeared, the protection of sea lions and elephant seals continued to be a hot button issue throughout the 1940s.
		The legacy of the conservation effort to protect California sea lions, marine mammals, and the Pacific coastline lives on today in the United States in the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act.

	Thus Perished Operation Sea Lion - The Churchill Centre
		Their airmen, well aware of their greater numbers, were also the proud victors of Poland, Norway, the Low Countries, France; ours had supreme confidence in themselves as individuals and that determination which the British race displays in fullest measure when in supreme adversity.
		The Supreme Command was exercised from the Fighter Headquarters at Staninore, but the actual handling of the direction of the squadrons was wisely left to Number 11 Group, which controlled the units through its fighter stations located in each county.
		On February 13, 1942, Admiral Raeder had his final interview on "Sea Lion" and got Hitler to agree to a complete "stand-down." Thus perished "Operation Sea Lion." And September 15 may stand as the date of its demise.

		While he had imposed each of the preceding campaigns on his generals against their will and interfered on even the minutest details, this time the Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht was content to accept the plans in their totality and only to provide the political background music, that is to shower the British with threats.

		The entire operation was to be a gamble typical of Hitler: The Luftwaffe would be withdrawn from operations against the reeling French army and re-oriented for operations against England while the Panzer force would continue to grind down the Dunkerque pocket.
		The official name of the battle that followed was "The Battle of the North Sea", but to the RN sailors it was known as "The Slaughter in the Straits".
		All the rivers were in flood, which made it a difficult operation to repair the bridges destroyed by the Soviets in retreat.
