Use of sea lions to facilitate different activities of the Spanish Armada (DIEEEO39-2012)

The use of the Sea Lions would improve national security increase the operational capabilities of the Spanish Armada, and it would reduce economic costs and risks in the missions where they participate. The working areas of these animals in the aquatic environment are very varied: rescue of shipwrecked, detection of explosives in the aquatic environment, divers support, etc. Also, they are useful as environmental biosensors for veterinary health checks by indicating the degree of environmental contamination that has the area in which they develop their work. The study and work with these animals will allow us to investigate in the future diverse areas like hydrodynamics, sensory systems, telemetry, anatomy and physiology of animals, and the behavior and ecological studies of the environment.
