“Spud”, his pinniped buds and Seal sitters send huge congratulations to NOAA’s NW stranding experts Kristin Wilkinson, Brent Norberg, and Lynne Barre. They are receiving an award this morning for their marine mammal outreach efforts and are being recognized as outstanding federal employees of 2010. Kudos to this team that has provided such incredible support to Seal Sitters and the marine mammals of West Seattle.
