In the Molly of Denali episode Sea Lion Crooks and Halibut Hooks (season 2 episode 8), Molly Mabray was visiting her cousin Randall James' family in Sitka, Alaska. And when Molly and Randall went fishing, they encountered a sea lion. They also noticed markings on it's back, that possibly spelled glog (there's a nice little twist to that).
This led the cousins to do a little online research to see if they could find out more information about sea lions and markings. They read the online article Marking Steller Sea Lions which helped them figure out that as citizen scientists that they could contact researchers with information about the sea lion. They would eventually figure out what type of sea lion they had found and get the information to researchers. And they ended up learning a little more about that specific sea lion.
