Kekeno Sighting Project w/ Nicola Roos: January 26th, 2023

A project aiming to track the lives and mortality rates of Kekeno AKA NZ fur seals has recently been approved for extension. 

The Department of Conservation project was originally slated to take place from June to November of last year, getting citizens to become involved by submitting photographic sightings of the seals in various places across Aotearoa. 

To learn more about their next steps and how the extension will benefit the research, Liam spoke to Nicola Roos, a student at Otago Uni who’s assisting with the research.
