A sea is a large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, or a large, usually saline, lake that lacks a natural outlet such as the Caspian Sea and the Dead Sea.
Many seas are marginal seas, in which currents are caused by ocean winds; others are mediterranean seas, in which currents are caused by differences in salinity and temperature.

Davis' team was supposed to capture sea lions at least 1 year old, but he captured 11 animals that were younger than that, according to the violation notice.
Davis said he was not on the research vessel at the time and did not learn about it until a month later.
Davis said the third accusation, that he was conducting research without a permit, was a paperwork snafu.
