Starting in the late 1990s, following graduate work at SFU’s Centre for Wildlife Ecology, Sean was engaged in research on Marbled Murrelets. This research included using radar techniques to establish baseline population estimates for major watersheds throughout the South Coast, from Harrison Lake to Bute Inlet.
