Friends of Fort Flagler is proud to present a virtual program: Sea Lions of Salish Sea. The program will be offered through Zoom at no charge to attendees. Ever wonder what type of marine mammals can climb to the top of a jetty or buoy? Or wonder what just porpoise out of the water with such grace? Join Dr. Greg Frankfurter to learn about these acrobatic and curious neighbors, we call sea lions. Dr. Frankfurter will discuss their lifecycle, successes, challenges and where to find them.
