La Jolla Childrens Pool

Well my general question for the final product is going to be "who has priority to the beach? people or seals?" from there i will expand on the background information and the questions that come up along the way. I'm going to work in a group with Diana and Yoselin who will have there own research questions about the seals. This week i did networking research, looking into spots around the location so that i can interview local people. I will work on the video with Diana for my section but i will have most control over a writing piece under dianas video. so we will definatly need a camera and a microphone. We only need 2 or 3 people in our group which we already have. Diana has her resources for who she is networking with and i have contacted these people for a start for information:

Caitlin Denham
Communications Assistant
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
University of California, San Diego
Phone: (858) 534-3624
Email: cdenham@ucsd.edu
caitlin didnt have as much information as i had hoped for but i will still keep in contact with her to find out about any upcoming projects i need to know about she also led me to the next contact

Loran Wlodarski from Sea World Orlando's Education Department.
but i will most likely find somebody from sea world san diego.

Loran.Wlodarski@seaworld.com

I made a call to the zoo but they didnt respond.

In the area of childrens pool i really would like to talk to the people from moondoggies because
they have been there since 1990 and have seen changes and they havnt been there for generations though so they may have a fresher way of looking at things. but you will never know until you talk to them.

The workers at La Jolla Cove Suits may also have a grasp on their views on seals because they are located right on the coast of childrens pool and they probably have a lot of knowledge based on observations and probably petetioners near by.
Also i want to interview random people in the area to get a feel for whos against the seals being there and whoe against the humans trying to get back the beach.
