        abstract:  The dataset contains initial capture and marking data for California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pups at San Miguel Island, California and subsequent resighting of the marked animals throughout the time series. The data are used in mark-recapture analysis to estimate survival and natality rates.
        purpose:  The California sea lion survival dataset is used to estimate survival rates for marked California sea lions that can then be used in population models for stock status and Optimum Sustainable Population (OSP) determination.
