These marine mammals are often spotted lounging on rocky shores or bobbing in coastal waters, and are characterized by their spotted coat and round, expressive eyes. Adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, harbor seals can dive deeply and swim for long periods while hunting fish, their primary diet. Conservation efforts remain crucial in protecting their habitats from pollution and human interference, ensuring that these charismatic creatures continue to grace the marine landscapes of places like Dartmouth Waterfront Park.
