Tenaya Norris, M.S.
Tenaya Norris has been involved in marine mammal research and conservation since 2004. In her current role as Research Scientist at The Marine Mammal Center, she works collaboratively with scientists in the United States and Mexico to study the abundance, distribution, foraging behavior, habitat use and health of pinnipeds in the California Current System, particularly Guadalupe fur seals.
Tenaya is a member of the California Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Program Steering Committee and Marine Mammal Health Monitoring and Analysis Platform Executive Committee and also serves as the co-onsite coordinator for the ongoing 2015 National Marine Fisheries Service Unusual Mortality Event for Guadalupe fur seals in California.
